STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS ACT OF 2012
2012-04-26 18:01:00 With student loans in the United States accumulating to over $1 Trillion USD there's very little room left under the rug to hide the reality.

College 'Stuff' Keeping Me Busy
2012-03-28 17:36:00 It's been a busy morning and I'm on my third cup of coffee and ready to get a refill after this entry. This morning I've already done some freelance work, I've updated another site, I've done some marketing, I've updated my sons FAFSA application for college loans and called and checked in with our veterinarian's office on the phone to avoid having to bring one of our cats in for his 9:am appointment. I caught him using the litter box this morning and boy did he use it. So... there is no question he is 'going' just fine and no longer is having his little issues. Yesterday I got a text from the Boy Child at college 1000 miles away letting me know he was down to $26 in his food account. It's really hard to get through to the student account office at his college and it's the only way I can put money in his account (over the phone, they do not allow online at this time) so I tried. Not only did I get through, but I got through to a real adult a...

Nope, you did what everyone else does. Wait until the last friggin? minute, then try to pull an all-nighter to get it all done.

OUTSOURCING COLLEGE EDUCATION
2012-01-31 07:43:00 Foreign Policy magazine recently published an eye-opening article about the economic value of an education abroad. What they did was compare the median cost of one year of an American undergraduate education ($9,000 USD) with that of an average international one ($4,000 USD). While money wasn't the only factor explored (there's also the question of quality, of course), the article does point out some rather startling examples, like how even though South Africa's University of Cape Town has a higher QS ranking than The University of Notre Dame, attending the latter is a whopping $32,000 USD more. Incredible! Check out the full piece here.

Saving Money In College: You Don’t Need that Thing Edition, PART 3
2011-12-27 13:34:00 Still having trouble with saving money in college after the 2 great articles, that we have already posted? Then check out the last article in this series and, maybe this time, you’ll get it right:) With college costing so much, a student needs to take a hard look their expenses and pare away the excesses. The money thus saved can be crucial later. In earlier articles, we discussed doing without a car, and saving on one’s appearance. The following are some thoughts on more places to save. While a computer is almost always a necessity for a student these days, the kind of computer is a matter of discretion. The recommendation here is for a great deal of RAM, and scrimping on everything else. Unless you are in a graphic arts program or music course, forgo the super video high definition and massive sound speakers. What academic users need is to be able to have open programs use is a combination software to display documents in .pdf format, plus word pro...
Saving Money In College: You Don’t Need that Thing Edition, PART 2
2011-12-22 10:10:00 College is hideously expensive today, and the extra costs mount up swiftly. Lab fees, gym fees, books, equipment for science lab courses, parking fees, and heaven knows what else all add to the truly unbelievable cost of a degree. Students need to be comfortable, safe, well-shod, properly clothed, and decently fed, but there are many areas where savings can be realized in the four years of a college career. We addressed one of the most profligate sources of expense in an earlier article, that money hemorrhaging item known as the car. Let us see where we can save some other funds for the future. A student needs a really good haircut at the beginning of the semester. This is crucial for several reasons. Yes, this article is about saving money, but saving also means investing in what will pay off in the future. First, this is your introduction to the other students. They will form an instantaneous impression of you that will remain with them for, literally, ye...
Rain Rain, Go Away... My Poor, Starving, College Students are Here!
2011-12-21 17:00:00 Rain rain, go away.... I feel like all it's done since moving here is rain. We get a brief respite from it for a day or two (of clouds) and then it's back. No wonder there is so much mold down here. This house finally has a real family in it. Yes, the two older kids arrived last night. Being poor, starving college students, all they could talk about, text about and think about was food. The texts started while they were still on the plane;"Do you have lots of food?""No. We have cookies. And milk. But that is for Santa. We have some Ramen noodles though.""Noooooooooo!"*grin*The- drive home made my son insane as I would announce that we still had 5 more miles to go. Still had 2 more miles to go. LOL.

Saving Money In College: You Don’t Need that Thing Edition
2011-12-20 08:19:00 College and graduate school are so horrifyingly expensive these days that any extra expenditure must be looked at with care. Unless your parents are rolling in money, the cost of tuition is a massive drain on family or personal resources. The money you save now is going to be your cushion for job-hunting later when you graduate. What are the ways we can avoid breaking the bank and ruining ourselves or our families financially? The student car is probably the most expensive and often least useful and indulgent ongoing expense. Unless you have a serious job that requires commuting, this should be a non-negotiable sacrifice. The expenses associated with a car are manifold. There is the purchase price, the interest on any loan, the insurance, the registration, the tags, and regular required inspection. That is before one single gallon of gas or motor oil goes in. Maintenance of a car at college is an immense inconvenience, unless one is a superb mechanic....
