18 days agoJust to expand on the cheaper option- there really is no such thing in the US. I went to my local poor univerity that I rode my bike to each day while still living with my parents - total cost for 4 years was around 20k. I think the average is like 40k without paying for housing
Everybody in the US is stuck with student debt. No poor person is even considering high tier universities- those are exclusively for rich people and people who get full ride scholarships.
Community college is cheaper but then you can’t get a bachelor’s degree from a community college.
Partner and I recently had our first kid, and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done. Also the most stressful.
We did wait though until our mid thirties, and that seems to be more normal now. I can’t imagine having a kid when my parents did, I don’t know how people can afford that now.
