Did or do you have student loan debt?


I owed $5000.00 back in 1986. It seemed like small fortune back then.

I'm still paying off my student loans.

from Bible College?

reply

Yes.

reply

Thankfully no. If I was American and paying those tuition prices, I'd be on the streets now though.

I managed to graduate from a state college debt free in 1997. I worked a part time job and my parents and I split my montly tuition payments. With what that same state school costs now compared to the cost of living wage increases for the jobs my parents and I had back then, I wouldn't have a prayer of graduating debt free today.

I was very aggressive at pursuing grants and scholarships to minimize loan debt, and after graduating my top priority was paying off the remainder. Debt-free now for several years.
