Nobody can avoid debt altogether (after all, we are a debtor nation), and if somebody can then they probably know the answer to the meaning of life as well. Credit cards, mortgages, loans for students, loans for business and loans for just about anything are a common part of our lives. There are interest payments to make, fees to pay, and service charges to decipher. If you’re about to go to college, or are in college already, there are a few ways you can avoid student loan debt.
First, try looking at some in-state schools. Tuition rates are going up across the country, even at state schools, but they are the best bargain around. Obviously, you shouldn’t limit yourself to your own geographic area when you are deciding what to do with the rest of your life, but you’d be remiss if you didn’t check out some schools that might save you a few bucks down the road and might even earn you a few bucks more than you thought.
