Some people can escape college and graduate with no debt or hardly any. I graduated with some debt, and I can proudly say that I am not ashamed of it. I worked full-time throughout college and managed to graduate with two degrees in less than three years after the time that I graduated from high […]

Now that I’m officially done with school and my MBA program, I feel like I can fully reflect on what I got out of my graduate education. Yes, I know. Another school post and another post about how I’m done, but it’s one of the last 🙂 After I finished my undergraduate degree, I took […]

Over at Girl with the Red Balloon, she announced that she just recently paid off the rest of her loans, and she’s now completely debt free! Go over there and congratulate her. I honestly can’t stop thinking about this, because I bet this is such a great feeling. I am extremely jealous, but I know […]

You can find scholarships in many places. If you have applied for a college, then when you get your acceptance letter usually you will also get some sort of financial aid package letter also. First you need to fill out your FAFSA form at FAFSA.org. The deadline to fill this out by FAFSA is in […]

In my post last week I talked about how I’m oh so happy that school is done forever. However, even though there are so many reasons for why I am happy and things I looked forward to when graduating, there are also many things that new graduates are not told about. Since I have lived […]

Hey everyone! Recently, I’ve been getting several e-mails from readers about questions that they have. While I would love to think that I know everything, I know that if I post a question onto my blog, that we can get a lot more answers, which may be more helpful than what I can say in […]

Do you have so much student debt that it’ll ruin your life? Check this article out. I know my past posts have related to this, but this is the most debt that I have ever heard of. In this article, a couple from Seattle graduated with a combined $500,000 worth of debt. I believe school […]
The post Too much student debt to handle appeared first on Making Sense Of Cents.
To tie in with my last post about why I think college debt is (sometimes) worthwhile, here is an article that I found last month about adults who have unfathomable debt. These people each have somewhere around $185,000 in student loan debt which is insane! None of these people graduated with a degree that lead […]

Last week I was asked to share a very interesting graphic with my readers. While I was lucky and was able to find a job right after I graduated and still have that same job today, not everyone is as lucky. Most of my friends were able to find great jobs soon after graduating, but […]
