Easily affordable? Now that a year at a state college is approaching $20,000? Years ago I put myself through college with a part-time job and a partial scholarship. Those days no longer exist. Student loans? Yeah, you can find young adults who are csrrying $50,000 student loans. How long ago did you go to college?

AMEN on the college costs. We have three straight A students who all plan to attend college. We hope for scholarships and their part-time jobs to assist us in the expense. We do have a savings plan earmarked for their education. They are also enrolled in a program that will pay off $10,000 (drop in the bucket) when they turn 18. And none of them are Taliban or illegals so we can't look for any assistance there.

"Easily affordable". snort, eh?

I know of young people who chose to pay as they went and finished up with owing very little. It still is possible, but it takes dedication on the part of the young person who does it. (it is also important to take advantage and get an AA degree while attending hs, that takes care of alot of generals cutting the costs)

Two of my seven kids have paid their own way through college. Two more are currently doing it. The other three are too young yet......

If you want to know how it's done, let me know.
