College debt continues to soar: Tips for young people to stretch their dollar
WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) - Let this number sink in. American’s owe $1.7 trillion in student loans. That’s an average payment of nearly $400 a month.
A new survey from budget travel brand CheapTickets reveals that student loan debt is limiting the lives of recent graduates. More than 70% say student loans prevent them from traveling, and 1-in-5 grads would give up TV streaming services or their wedding day to graduate debt-free.
Tori Dunlap is the founder of Her First $100K, a financial expert and podcast host with over 1.5 million followers on TikTok. She joined NewsChannel 7 at Noon on Tuesday to share tips on how grads can start managing their student debt now while still enjoying things we all need, like vacations, along the way.
