"College is an exciting time in a young person’s life. But making payments on their student loans long after they graduate? Not so much.
The average cost of just one year at college can range anywhere from $20,770 for a public, in-state university to a whopping $46,950 at a private university. Multiply that by four years, and it adds up. And if you’re taking out student loans to pay for it, you’ll be thousands of dollars in debt before you even graduate.
We see far too many people struggling to pay on their student loans while their future hangs in the balance. It’s a familiar problem that’s only getting worse: America’s total student loan debt is now nearly $1.4 trillion.
It’s never a good idea to go into debt. But despite what you may think, you can pay cash for school—it just takes some work. So before you memorize that certain school’s fight song, ask yourself this question: Is the cost of college really worth it?"
