This is one of the posts of time
I have a confession: I got a paycheck today.
I regret to announce that I have an income again so I will not be wasting quite as much money as usual.
I understand this may be upsetting to some of the users of this website, but I will say that I still owe tens of thousands of dollars in student debt so be assured I will still be wasting plenty of money over the coming years.
(in the same way I might not be posting as frequently, but I’m not going to go away completely yet)

Also that's a lot of student debt
I've seen worse students debt. My mom (in her 40s) still has around $60-100k to pay
That's crazy (maybe it's the system's fault wouldn't that be crazy)
I cheated the system by graduating early and I went to an in-state public school (on the cheaper end of the tuition scale), so I probably got off easier than some people do, but college is just really expensive and I was awarded very little for scholarships so I still have to pay a lot in the end
I'd hardly call that much debt cheating the system. It's great that you saved money, but I hope to go to college debt free (like that'll ever happen)
There are ways to go for free.
Some organizations have full-ride scholarships for groups of young adults such as artists, musicians, those in religion, those who are ethnic, etc. They are hard to get though
^ it is possible
I have friends / know people who save a lot (or go free) because they have parents who were in the military
You can save a ton of money by taking college courses in high school (that’s what I did) or going to community college as well
