Anyone have tips for keeping college loan costs down? My father died and has no inheritance, so I'm left with nothing to help my mother and I. I already know about the Community College for 2 years or however long to take the basic courses, and FAFSA, but I'm afraid I might still have high debts when this is all said and done.
1. Community College
2. Apply for Scholarships
3. Get a job at a big corporation
4. Apply for their employee scholarships (Even fucking McDonalds will help pay so fuck off about HURR EBIL CORPORATIONS)
5. Don't spend your loans on stupid shit
6. Invest your loans on a low risk mutual fund, or everything in Visa.
That way you use your loans to help you make money while you study and work. The dividend income will chip away at some of the loans. And it's Visa, it's not a risk.
