    I just went to Germany and did my studies there, learned a new language, got to experience a different culture AND didn't get debt in the process. It baffles me that Americans are so reluctant to leave the USA bubble. And I can see it at the University here every day, there are lots of foreigners here from all around the world: Mexico, Ecuador, China, Nepal, France, Colombia, Russia... pretty much all of them, but not America

    No student loans for me. Paid cash for my tuition. Almost done with my bachelors. I am so grateful for all I have learned and experienced. Had to scrape by financially, but it wasn't so bad. You just gotta Act Broke! ;)

      Didn't slow me down. Started in Fall 2014. I was able to live at home for a good chunk and I have worked part/full time 5/6 semesters and overtime in the summers. I have paid 6 semesters with cash. Have 3 more left. Got my first PEL grant for the next two, but I would have been able to pay cash if I had to.

      People need to shop around. I went to grad school and paid cash and was working low paid retail. Granted, I lived absolutely miserably and got some help from scholarships for my good grades, but the fact is it can be done. You can't live like this forever but you can do it when you're twenty something for four years.
      People go into the military and eat constipation inducing MREs while pooping in a ditch and living in a tent while being shot at for years on end. You have to do what you have to do sometimes.
      If I had been forced to get loans, the whole degree would have cost me about $20,000 for a job where people earn about $40,000 typically their first year. I could have just lived like I had for one more year and paid off the loan.

    Parents are part of the problem. Most push their kids to attend college, even if they aren't suited for it. Some will attend anyways, unsure of what they want to do afterwards, take out student loans, and major in some worthless liberal arts field that doesn't qualify them for much if and when they graduate. And that's how you end up with a large population of debt-burdened, largely unskilled 20-somethings who are relegated to working the same menial jobs they could have taken without a degree. Parent think they're guiding their children in the right direction, but most are inadvertently pushing them off a cliff.

    Dave Ramsey is spot on. I took out $14,882 in Student Loans including my Master's degree. I bought my house 🏠 for $120,000. I have no credit card debt and am working on paying off my mortgage in 5 years. Trade Schools are a viable option. Plumbers, electricians, mechanics, etc.... make good money 💰.

    What I find interesting is that there is no prerequisites for starting your own business. There are plenty of people trying to get jobs and believe the only way for that is a degrees. Look at it the other way and try creating jobs. No education needed. Just a idea and a passion and a clear way of making that idea reality.

    Students take out extra and buy vacations and cars with the extra that the school refunds them. We need to make the schools automatically refund the extra back to the loan company. That would probably cut the problem in half.

    My son refused to go into debt for his degree and he managed to graduate without debt. Then he got married to a wonderful young woman whose parents told her to go into debt to get a degree. So, even though he managed to avoid debt himself, now, as a young couple they are looking at paying back over $40,000 for her student loan debt. Very frustrating.

    My son got an associates degree in auto mechanics debt free. However, he was among the working poor. He went back to school and got an engineering degree with 23K in student loans. He netted out more in 6months than he grossed in a year as a mechanic. He also is on track to pay off his loans in 3 years.

  • @MrBoredom123
    @MrBoredom123 6 років тому

    Thank you! I have been arguing this since the federal government began backing loans! Same thing happened with the housing collapse. Now it looks like we are going to be going from federally backed loans to "free" college.
    That just means that instead of a person paying $150K for their college, which they could actually pay off, they will now be paying probably 50% or more of their income in taxes for the rest of their lives. Along with everyone else now forced to pay for everyone else.

  • @speedfiend925
    @speedfiend925 6 років тому

    Subsidization of Student Loans has driven up the cost. No different than subsidizing health care in certain instances has driven up the cost. When you subsidize something you create moral hazard in that area. The same thing happened in the Housing Market. :/

  • @kace7230
    @kace7230 6 років тому

    5 years ago in european countries like the uk, college was sponsored by the tax payer.
    Kids came out of college debt free and contributed to the economy.
    Now loans are going into default and the tax payer pays anyway, and you get kids who contribute less to the economy, the adult tax payer has less chance of their kids looking after them in retirement.

  • @st.jimmy0244
    @st.jimmy0244 5 років тому

    You don't have to do away with student loans entirely, just remove the safety net (federal insurance). The reason both student loans and costs of education are completely out of control is because there is no cost control, because the responsible parties (borrower, lender, institution) all know that the government will pick up the tab. Get the government out of the picture and universities will have to compete for lower costs, lenders will have to lend responsibly, borrowers will have to borrow responsibly, etc.
    People need to stop looking at the government as this giant catch-all that's going to pay all your bills for you.

    Perhaps making something as simple as drivers license required and that the only class available before having a driver license would be driving class. Once you graduate that driving school, which enables you to get around town for jobs instead of paying insane dorm rent ($1000/person/month), you can stay in an apartment especially those next to campus that are $600/person/month and utilities included. Then you can drive a used cheap car with 6 figure mileage on it to get around town. Requiring a driver's license will make sure that once signed up for college, the young person is at least free to get around and not be trapped to campus with no job and living on borrowed money that will haunt them the moment that they graduate or simply fail to graduate. Then there is the other thing where is you are not able to do well in school, you would need to get yourself in educational shape before attending college.

    Gov't wants to slash the 385 billion in Medicaid with health care bill that covers mostly people with disabilities using waivers that include work related transportation to even get to work (not all people with disabilities are capable of being able to drive themselves) and such. But yet they won't do anything about the TRILLIONS of student loan debt, the cost of staff to come after borrowers, the web servers to host websites, the web developers, and other paraphernalia relating to getting students to borrow money. I have seen fellow coworkers and students take out a bunch of debt just to get purses and fancy vacations, not even being used for education. Colleges charge more knowing that students would just take out more loans, you know "heave a sigh and pay it".
    Source for cost of medicaid: www.cbo.gov/topics/health-care
    Here's some ideas:
    Government stop creating new loans
    Students stop borrowing money for school
    go to a reasonably priced school
    Go to instate schools
    Learn something useful in the market
    Work your way through college
    Get scholarships
    I agree with Dave on a lot of points here.

And no, bankrupcy is not a "free ride", it ruins your credit and by extension your life for 7 years, but at least 7 years is better than a lifetime of servitude to a system of lenders who solely set up these loans to indebt young people for life.
