Ep. 293 | How Much Student Loan Debt Is Too Much?
Description
In today's episode, especially for families who don't have unlimited money, I urge parents to make an educated guess on how their child will fare financially after they graduate from college.
What are their hopes/dreams/aspirations?
You don't need an exact answer, but you should try to get in the ballpark.
Has your child dreamed of working for Goldman Sachs their entire life and shown the work ethic and aptitude to land such a job?
Or
Do they seem content to be a middle school special education teacher for 30 years in the local school district?
With the cost of education spiraling out of control, it's more important than ever to try to match the cost of college with the ability to pay for it.
Generally speaking, there are 4 different "cost" categories to consider:
- no debt (service academies and ROTC)
- graduate with $50K in debt (community college to 4-yr state school)
- graduate with $100K in debt (4-yr state school)
- graduate with $300K in debt (4-yr, private liberal arts school)
Which one of these paths is your child leaning toward?
