Why would you want student loans if you were poor anyway? The smartest route would be to start your career at the BOTTOM at an early age and if your employer wants to give you an opportunity then they will. College is not for everyone.
Why do some rent and others own? Why do some have mortgages and others own free and clear? Why should I have to have car payments when others don't? Why do some people have credit card debt and others don't? EVERYTHING is a choice. Come on, the student loan argument is hocus-pocus on EVERY level.
Hi Donot, Can you help my kids out and tell your friend JB not to screw GSE shareholders? My kids are invested in the Growth Fund of America via the Commonwealth of Virginia 529 plan. Not looking for a handout but maybe the expected returns from the GFA FNMA holdings will help my kids have the same opportunities as yours. Sounds like you have a lot to be proud of.
NO ONE is too poor to go to college. I know for a fact that was a myth 20yrs ago. and reasonably sure it is today, but admit i don't have that empirical evidence.
