No choice

“When I was a few months away from finishing high school my mother told me either I go to college or I had to move out. Rent at the time in Anchorage Alaska was $1000 a month for a one bedroom. At 18 years old and never having a real job before my only choice was to sign up for $40,000+ worth of student loan debt. 6 days after finishing high school, before even getting my diploma, I signed on the dotted line. I never felt like I had a choice I didn’t even know what I wanted to do with my life. I worked full-time in order to pay for my car insurance(her car), books, food, phone etc… After 2 years working full time and going to school full time. I wasn’t even able to get a job using my degree because the school was giving out to many degrees without jobs even being available, although they promised they would help us find jobs they didn’t. I started paying $351 at 20 years old after a forbearance period of six months I had to pay $521 a month at the age of 34 I have been able to get it down to $8,500. I have never used my degree. My husband who is a high school dropout and truck driver earns more then I can so I’m now stuck being a stay at home mom because the cost of daycare and the loan makes it impossible for us to get ahead even a month. I wish I would have been taught about student loans because I never would have gone. Also my mother wasn’t around when I signed the papers. Only the school financial officer who told me a student loan was a great idea, my mother couldn’t be bothered to go with me.”

“This podcast isn’t the standard Ramsey radio broadcast turning into a podcast. This show is well done with narration to follow the story and clips from industry gurus discussing the topic of student load debt.
Kudos to the Ramsey organization.”

“Finally a podcast in the wheelhouse of this student loan debt crisis. Exposing the lie we have been told that you can’t go to college without debt. So excited to listen to Anthony & others bust these myths and help inform the public on this epidemic!”
