My husband and I saved plenty for my daughter to attend a CA university. When she decided to attend an out of state private school, we explained it would entail her getting student loans and being responsible for paying them back. Graduating in 2016 from university with a debt and entry level income it was extremely stressful for her. When we would offer to help out she insisted she could do it she was a big girl and it was her responsibility. However, the pressure of today’s world, expenses, and the price of success, drove her to taking her own life. I’m not saying student debt was the cause, I’m saying it did contribute to this tragedy. We had no idea how much the weight of the debt she was dealing with. I think there should be some way for higher education to cost less and maybe that is the federal government place of involvement.
