Excellent information. Very scary for ALL of us, parents or not.
My two attended Tech College. One is a City Planner and the other is an IT Guy. They lived at home while they went to school, drove beater cars, worked and paid as they went. No debt. Good salaries. Not living in my basement!
Younger Sister was coddled by Mom & Dad. She defaulted on her student loans and Mom & Dad picked up the tab. She went to a snotty, private, all-girls college; never has used her teaching degree, she’s never done anything other than Secretarial work. Do you have to ask what political stripe she is? Yeah. I didn’t think so. *SNORT*
I joined the Army and they paid for 90% of my education.
I am 100% debt free and I retired at 56.
It can be done. :)
I’m a 6 class pc fixer out of a tech college that got into a good IT career after some pain and suffering paying the dues.
No student loan debt. Only one real obligation left that should be retired at the end of the year.
Good for you! I bet you’re a fan of Dave Ramsey.
