Three articles are on student loan debt. They all involve the growing student debt crisis. Student debt in the United States is over $1 trillion, (this figure is outdated. it is $1.4 trillion and growing. https://talkbusiness.net/2017/08/experian-arkansas-among-top-states-with-student-debt-trouble-u-s-student-debt-bubble-nears-1-4-trillion/) making it harder for students to pay if off. It seems like the only reasonable way to pay it off is to live with your parents, buy nothing and save more than you spend.
The first article (which publication? be specific) writes about the growing student debt crisis is directly related to rising tuition over the last 20 years. A degree is necessary to get a decent job, but then you spend your life trying to pay back loans, even if it means changing your lifestyle. Which brings me into my next point, the article (which publication?) about how Nicole Medham paid off her law school student loans in less than 10 years.
She paid back over $180,000 in student loans by saving money, living at home and setting aside hundreds of dollars every month. Medham lives in New York, where the cost of living is higher than Arkansas. According to the last article, the average Arkansas student debt is $31,000.
