I can tell that this survey is not honest, by virtue of the fact that Student Loan Debt is not even mentioned as an issue.
Like it or not, for people under 40 this is a HUGE issue. Most that I encounter will not stop whining about it.

My Dad had the solution for that and it has stuck with me since I was a kid (Although I tested it once or twice) It's really simple, actually.
Dad said "Don't borrow money."
And that's how I became a member of the United Rubber Workers when I was in college. My hands were black for weeks after I quit the job at the tire factory and I never could get a date because my clothes always smelled like burning rubber since I went to school straight from getting off the graveyard shift at the factory....
But I have never had to worry about paying off a loan. At 68 I have now been comfortably retired for over ten years with zero debt and a nice nest egg.
It's no secret. If you don't want crushing debt, don't borrow money. Save up and pay cash. The government has no obligation to save you from your own profligacy.
