09: What I wish I knew about paying for college

Send us Fan MailToday, we look at the advice I wish my 35 year old self could have given to my 18 year old self. Here is a quick run down of the topics we cover.What is a Subsidized loan?What is an Unsubsidized loan?Here are the top 5 things I wish I had known. You don’t have to take all the money they offer you. Pay the interest during school. Apply for scholarships every year. You don’t have to graduate in 4 years. Work, save, and pay for classes as you go. Talk to a financial advisor.I know there are a lot of people that are in the same boat (or worse) than me. I feel like it’s part of my responsibility to help educate the next generation so they don’t fall into the same traps. I am researching for future episodes more about ways to fund college. I would love to know what questions you have about it.
