Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for October 18, 2024

Sad but true…

Oh dear, not the only one I fear!

Just wait. Joe keeps authorizing Loan Forgiveness, in spite of what the Supreme Court says.

Tiresome

You won’t,junior,if the orange one has anything to say about it….he also wants to cut Medicare so you’d be wise to set up a retirement plan on your own…..

Don’t worry, son, our president will make the rest of the taxpayers pay for your loan … so go ahead and get that “gender studies” degree.

Kid needs to do some research into college degrees that will lead to positive finances, as well as colleges that are affordable. It’s too expensive to use college to “find oneself”. Yeah, it is nice if one can find and train for a career where one loves the work, but one needs also to be practical. Life is full of compromises, and it is not promised to be all fun.

I’m not advocating settling for a miserable life. One can usually find tolerable but profitable work, and one can make life happier with outside pursuits. But don’t just spend education time and money aimlessly.

BTW, the parents have responsibility here too. If they allow their kids to make questionable choices and rack up huge debts then they haven’t been good parents. Again, I am not advocating ruling with an iron fist, but parents should be passing on their life’s lessons learned.
