10 Things You NEED To Know About Your Student Loans
Getting a college education is expensive... In fact, the cost of a college education from a public university has gone from $2,175 a year in 1973 to more than $35,000 today. That's a 1600% increase in just 40 years. And American wages aren't keeping up with the rising costs of tuition. Take a look at this chart from trading :
In fact, over the same time period since 1973, wage growth is actually decreasing overall. You can see from 1973 through about 2000 we were averaging somewhere in the vicinity of 6-7% wage growth. Now, even after the 2008 crash,we're at 3.5%. So we as Americans are making more money, and student loans costs are at an all time high.

What's the obvious outcome of this combination?
A mind blowing amount of student loan debt is required to obtain a 4-year degree. In fact, student loans being issued are at an all time high... by a very large margin. The Federal Reserve data statistics show more than 44 million Americans have student loan debt, accumulating to more than 1.4 Trillion dollars. That's more than all credit card debt. So with college tuition up 1600% and wages flat, you may be asking yourself the question. "So I know I'm going to need to get financial aid to go to college, but I'm wondering how to pay off my student loans?" And if you're asking yourself that question, it means you're smart.

Step #1 Are Student Loans Worth The Money
Truthfully, this is now a matter of opinion. No longer are the days where it is step 1: go to college step 2: You have a 95% chance of getting a good job. That was pretty much true until 2000. If you're a millennial, ask your parents if the statement below is true and they'll likely confirm the following: If you obtained a 4-year degree, were hard working, got decent grades, had a solid resume, and got
at least 3 job interviews, you were pretty much guaranteed a job. That's not true anymore.
In fact, has an excellent write-up of age groups broken down by labor force participation and unemployment. This is the first sentence of that article: "Millennials make up the largest percentage of our population today, yet have seen some of the lowest labor force participation growth and highest unemployment out of all age groups since the turn of the century." But there's more:
As of May 2017, 1 in every 3 Millennials still live at home with mom and dad.
6
As of 2017, we have the lowest home ownership since 1965.
This starkly contrasts with the fact that more than 60% of millennials have attended college according to a press release in 2014 on So we have some facts to consider: #1 The largest percentage of the population is attending college. #2 That same group has the lowest labor force participation rate. #3 The average student loan borrower graduates with more than $30,000 in debt. Does that mean college isn't worth it? Not necessarily. Statistics on show more and more employers are requiring employees to have a 4-year degree.
