  • Living in a Van to pay off Student Loan Debt

    I thought this was an amazing story. This guy lived in his van while attending graduate school to avoid debt!

    I read his book. It was fascinating.

      I replied earlier but it got zapped by the site malfunction.

      This is certainly an extreme example but it really shows "if there's a will, there's a way." So many people think the only way to go to college is with a ton of debt. While this may be extreme, there are lots of less extreme ways to help cover costs even if you don't cover them 100%.

      * Why should I pay for my daughter's education when she already knows everything?
      * There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going.

        My reply got zapped too.

        Good for this guy if he was able to pull it off. But, I think I'd come up with a different strategy.

          My SNL reference was lost, so I'll just post a link: http://www.hulu.com/watch/4183

          It is cool to see someone using living in a van (down by the river or otherwise) as a way of getting ahead and avoiding debt though.

            LOL. That was the first thing I thought of when I read the post title, too.
