I an old guy paid off many of their student loans though I paid mine off in the 80’s with no government help.

My wife paid her way through school as she went.

Tuition now is four times what it was then at UGA. Wages for college students aren't nearly that much.


UGA is one of the best deals for the dollar that you spend, especially with Hope Scholarships added in. Many schools had the same fourfold increase in costs but started at a much higher amount.

Most people who talk about how they paid their way don't realize how much college costs now. It's not the same as it used to be and acting like it is the same just because it was more affordable when you were younger is just a way to earn a "OK Boomer" from those dealing with current prices. As a parent dealing with those price-tags, it frustrates me when people my age or older think college is reasonably priced today.
