Our sons' $189,000 student debt is delaying our retirement - Nov. 30, 2015
Details a couple of intelligent people who allowed their kid to place the burden of a seemingly worthless degree around their necks. Now they are shackled to $129K in loans while the kid waits tables.
Seems they haven't fully learned their lesson either, kid #2 already at $60K and counting! Combined losses of $289K so far.

"Tim graduated from Rutgers University with a bachelor's degree in journalism and media studies. He's especially interested in a Hollywood career, but has found it hard to land a job there, though he's picked up some spots as an extra on TV shows. Tim is mostly trying to make ends meet by working as a waiter and bartender."
Sad, sad, sad, student loans don't just affect you.
And this is Rutgers! It's a freaking PUBLIC college!
What a disservice this debt has become for this family. I know I'm preaching mostly to the choir here, but remember to be careful out there!

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
