twice as long
https://www.star-telegram.com/news/business/article287009720.html Most Americans intuitively know that higher education has become disproportionately expensive for younger generations—thanks to millions of graduates trapped in student debt. But are education costs really so out of reach for younger generations, considering new career opportunities and wage inflation? Creditnews put that theory to the test by comparing the college tuition costs of Baby Boomers and Millennials against what both generations earned after graduation. Our analysis revealed a stark difference in the "purchasing power" of a college degree in the 1980s and today, driven by the growing disparity between tuition costs and wages. Even though Baby Boomers had it much easier back in the day, student debt is catching up with them, too. In a twist, Boomers' student debt balances have recently exploded as many Boomers take out loans to put their kids through college. Must've been nice to buy a single family home for $88k and flip it for $800k with no renovations

I could swing it, but it would hurt my retirement savings so much I probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Add in the possibility of getting laid off in a bad economic downturn... I would be a wreck. Best of luck though, I truly mean it.  |
