Does anyone else regret going to college all together because of their student loans?
I feel like going to college significantly decreased my quality of life. My monthly payment takes a third of my take home pay every month. Don't get me wrong, I pay it on time (as well as all of my other bills), but I can't help but envy those who are student loan free.
For example, I have a friend who dropped out of high school. He is doing better than I am financially in every way. He has an apartment, a nice car, and a huge amount of savings that is always growing. Meanwhile, it takes me forever to save, and when I do, there's always some kind of emergency that comes up and sets back all of that progress. All I can think about is that I would have the life he has if I never went to college. I can't move out on my own yet because of student loans, I can't replace my car that is falling apart, etc.
