Article Round-up: Get Out of College Debt-Free Edition

Posted on | August 31, 2010 | 4 Comments

Hello Frugal Confessions Readers!

I graduated from college in 2005, and wow I wish I had known all that I do not about ways to save money, stay out of debt, and to make money. If I had known, I would have come out of college with much less than my $36,000 in student loan debt (which was still a bargain for four years at a private liberal arts college).

In light of this, as well as student loan debt surpassing consumer credit card debt, I wanted to round up some great articles to help you all achieve this either for yourselves or for your children. Money Help for Christians has a great article on how to graduate college with no student loan debt.

Budgeting in the Fun Stuff’s guest poster has some great information on what is considered a liability and what is considered an asset by the government when applying for financial aid.

A guest poster at the Get Rich Slowly blog shares how he paid for his graduate school studies by renting out bedrooms.

    Your toll booth story reminded me of my own RAC story from years ago. I was at a car wash that was pretty busy and there was one person parked behind me waiting for the stall I was in. I finished my car and then inserted about $1.50 more into the control panel before I pulled out to go vacuum my car. Just a RAC right? Good for me right? No. The guy got mad at me and wanted to know why I put more money in it. When I explained that it was for him to use and I was just trying to do something nice he said he didn’t want me paying for it and insisted on giving me the money back.

    Wow BluSky, that is so weird! Very kind of you, though.

    That is strange! I hope you didn’t let him get to you – maybe he has that mental disorder that effects social situations or something (Asperger’s Syndrome I think…).
