Skip The Debt Trap | Robert Farrington | Growing Money with Sean Trace

from Growing Money with Sean Trace · host Sean Trace

I sat down with Robert Farrington, founder of The College Investor, and we went deep on something no one is being truly honest about: the real cost of a college degree. Robert has spent nearly 20 years breaking down the intersection of education and money, and the clarity he brings to this conversation is something every student, parent, and young professional needs to hear. We talked about why federal student loans are actually some of the most flexible debt available, yet most borrowers don't even know what options they have. We broke down why master's degrees are the most financially dangerous education decision people are making right now, why the average borrower doesn't finish their degree, and why that's the most expensive outcome of all. Are you still carrying student loan debt — and do you actually know all the repayment options available to you?
