Why don't you do the math before you tell these kids to not borrow money-- or get a job!

I get some money from loans, some from my own pocket and some from state grants and some from merit based scholarships based on good grades.
I'm very comfortable with my debt, I will be able to pay it off even if my degree does NOTHING to improve my wages from before. Sometimes I have worked part time and only taken one or two classes, so I haven't been able to finish college in four years, but I have never been in a big rush, and I'm NOT in debt up to my eyeballs. In fact I have already started paying some off, and the more regularly I do this the better my credit score will eventually be.
I don't have a credit card and wouldn't want one, and I wouldn't take out a loan for a car when there are so many decent ones around for cheap.
I have a 99 vw wagon that I paid 2k for and do most of the work on myself. Its got 170k, runs like a top, and I can get about 35-37 mpg on the highway from it.
Quoting: Nine's 2838278 Making it on 40,000. That was the first post and I did a break down of bills and showed how hard it was. The reason I did this was to show people that times are tough. You come on here a say you are making it with ONLY 10,000 OR 14,000 A YEAR. BUT YOUR ARE GETTING LOANS. If you are getting loans, then you are NOT MAKING IT STUPID. YOU ARE HAVING TO BORROW MONEY. This would also increase what you have a month to spend and your tuition WOULD BE CONSIDERED A BILL. Take a finance class
