just over 5 digits :/

around $3000, multiple credit cards, but most are a few months out to being paid off

Its crazy what banks get away with

3k lasik
4.5k credit cards
8k student loans

not too bad

Debt

1k constant with me buying stuff for my free Lance career and paying off 100 a month. Never gonna drop 1k for debt tbh. Life too small to worry about paying back the white man money

i'll prolly have like max 22k in student loans by the end

Shout out to digital media and marketing. People gonna need to advertise with ads and content forever. So in Gucci with at the minimum a minimum wage industry job

50k for 2 years of college

I don't really count car payments as debt since it's a necessary purchase though, but that's probably about 3 years left for me to pay though.

36k in student loans

Like 24k

Or it’s crazy how the educational system doesn’t teach proper finances.

Or even more this... crazy how dumb people are with finances in this day and age.

government is getting major bucks because of this debt so why would they NOT want to try to shove 100% of students to college when it isnt best for them at all?

also at my HS at least i learned how to work with money in Algebra 2 (logs, compound interest, mortgage scenarios, ect) and also had a mandatory finance class

think it is taught but some people refuse to learn no matter what is taught

looking at some of these college debt posts and holy s*** man

There's a few options recommended by my employer and I'm having a hard time deciding between them...

Systems Engineering - if I wanted to take a more managerial route
or
Electrical and Computer Engineering (I'd have a concentration in Signal Processing) - if I wanted to take a more technical route

I switch back and forth on which one I want to do pretty much daily

Think I’ll have about 30k when I’m done with school

Can't wait to come back to this thread in August/September when my car is paid off and say I'm debt free
Until I get a mortgage

Mortgage is worth it. You’ll make thousands on a house.

Username checks out

Oh for sure, I know it. I haaaaate renting because I'm not building any equity at all, just pissing away money to stay somewhere temporarily. I've got enough saved up for my girl's engagement ring, should have my car paid off this summer, and then I'll start saving for my down payment. By mid next year I'll be looking at homes, I can't wait to own

that's why i wanted bernie fam. that s*** is unfair

If every college kid did not pay at the same time ONCE everything would change.

Organization is hard but productive

900 left in student loans and 770 on my credit card
