Beat The College Debt Trap (and a ton of stress)

The average student debt of 2015 graduates was $35,051.

40 percent of Americans under the age of 30 have some student debt and the average amount they carry is about $23,300

Little wonder that student debt is cited in polls as one of the greatest sources of stress for students and their parents, especially middle-class families who earn too much to qualify for scholarships, yet earn too little to pay the tuition without large loans.

Numerous academic studies have linked student debt to lower grades, dropping out, financial recklessness, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and a range of other illnesses like high blood pressure, psoriasis, and so on.

Enter Christian College Professor, Alex Chediak, with his latest book, Beating the College Debt Trap: Getting a Degree without Going Broke.

My endorsement sums up my view of this excellent book:

“Alex has given us an indispensable field guide to escaping the insanity of the current college debt problem. A treasure trove of practical wisdom and tactics. This is going on my ‘must read’ list for our church’s youth and parent ministry.”
