Here's a hot tip…..move in with your parents, freeload like going to college and pretend you learned something in school…..you didn't, you're older…so what?

The best way is to avoid the debt all together. Try to get grants or scholarships or even financial aid that doesn't require you to take on massive debt.

It's pretty funny when fools go to Harvard for an art degree, then wonder how they're gonna pay back the $400k it cost them, for their useless piece of paper.

Dr. G says:

School is one of the biggest scams of all time. Companies are looking for knowledge and experience. Everything you learn in school is online at no cost. In future generations, employers won’t care which school you got your degree or even if you have a degree.

Like this is new news…smh

Biden promised to eliminate college debt. I guess you don’t remember that broken promise

SWFL Fishing says:

Suckers, lol. Congratulations you got a negative $50,000-$100,000 head start.

They will vote democrat thinking they will pay their bills

Justin Baez says:

Wasn’t Biden supposed to cancel student debt? Wasn’t that a campaign promise?

Billy Goat says:

Now that they are adults and spent thousands to get an education lets teach them the basic fundamentals of math. Pathetic. College in America is a joke.

AcidicMentality says:

Who would hire these recent cultist graduates anyway. Do I really need some punk going to my HR department complaining about how the company is RASIS!

Avi says:

Not one comment under me about loan forgiveness, free college or higher wages. Bunch of fkn morons

Stone Fox says:

The problem is the government says "oh if u graduate and cant get anywhere we'll forgive ur debt in about 30 yrs" and so kids graduate then instead of planning on paying it back they just literally do nothing for 30yrs claiming"i cant get any good job"… meanwhile… trucking jobs offer $10,000 sign ons, need pilots, forklift operators, road crews, package handlers all $15 and up. But no one wants to work.

how about a video called: "How to set up good free education for your populace if you're a country founded on slavery"

Deal drugs . Legal Prosititution .

A vasectomy ,at 23 and before kids, is the best investment I've ever made.

A wife and/or kids is/are for suckers.

As a young American I’d rather get my information from a 1980s text book than take money advice from this clown network

s a says:

To creat emergency saving as a student like I am I first have to have that extra money. I am a stem major and can only work one job( use to work 2 jobs and be a full time student) my total payment I receive so far monthly is $950 but your telling me to save money be a good grade student to be able to succeed in my stem major to be able to graduate and yet still manage to save money? This system put all of me and people like me that is trying so hard to be educated to become future of America hopefully and yet living under beyond poverty and still trying to live like a normal young adult and keep all the life responsibilities in track like pay bills and rent etc and get paid less a thousand dollar a month for being able to only work part time at the moment so to not fail in my classes. Everyone is given advices for a problem that no one is really trying to fix or find solutions. Time passes everything changes around the world yet we are still force to practice old habits instead of upgrading them to suit this century issues.
