[quote=Anonymous]I heard this story on NPR this morning and would be interested in reading her book: https://www.npr.org/2019/09/04/755221033/families-not-just-students-feel-the-weight-of-the-student-loan-crisis Real middle class families are struggling to pay for college, taking on too much debt, and/or their kids are living at home while attending community/state college. People who make $300k+ and complain that they don't have a lot leftover after fully funding college, retirement, and their expensive DC/Bethesda/Arlington mortgage are so clueless. On the other hand, it really wasn't that long ago when paying for college WAS achievable for the middle class. My grandparents raised 8 kids on my grandfather's salary working at an HVAC company. All attended catholic school and went on to 4yr college. Grandparents helped a bit, part-time jobs covered the rest. The only one with any debt went to law school. Things changed so much in just one generation.[/quote]
