(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, April 07, 2015 ) Houston, TX -- When my wife told me that she didn’t have any student loan debt and neither did her two brothers, I could scarcely believe it! After listening to her story, I wish that I knew this information 10 years ago. I encouraged her to write this book to help others to think differently about funding their college education. Here are some interesting facts on student debt:
Student debt is tougher to discharge in bankruptcy: If you fall on hard times after you graduate from that expensive college, your credit card and mortgage debt can be discharged through bankruptcy. However, this doesn’t apply to student debt; in most cases, you’ll still have to pay off all your student loans. Even when you die, your next of kin inherits your student loans. Is this the legacy you want to leave your kids?
Student debt is increasing, while wages have decreased: When I picked a college, I didn’t care about how much student debt I ended up with. I thought that once I got my education, I’d just pay off all my student loans from my mega-salary. The fact is that since 2000, education costs at 4-year universities have increased by 69%, while average wages have decreased by about 10%.
It’s only going to get worse: According to the credit firm Experian, over 40 million Americans hold some form of student debt. To put this in perspective, this number is larger than the entire population of Canada, and more than 200 other countries. In 2013 Congress passed a law which pegged student loan interest rates to the 10 year Treasury note. While each student loan’s interest rate will remain fixed once established, the Treasury note and therefore the student loan interest rates have been rising, especially with the improving economy.
