I completely agree, this is going to be a problem for our generation. For those of us who are lucky enough to not have any student debt, how can we take advantage of this?


Well, as someone recently off the scrolls of student loan debt, I can tell you this -

Save. Don't spend it. Save it. Invest it wisely.

Paying my shit off gave me an incredible sense of freedom, even though I still have a wife and kid and household to maintain, the usual job pressure, etc. I thought about it, and the sense of relief was from knowing that I was free of debt service, so the best thing I can tell you is to save your money and not make a single interest payment more than you need to.


Save and invest as much as you can. 10% of income is a good goal, more if you can do it.
