The above link is to a show that Dave Ramsey does.  He talks about some viewers who write in about their student loan's. He say's how stupid these loans are. I have to agree. We was told that we needed an education to get ahead in the world. That with out this we will be no one and get no where.

Looking back I wish I could of believed in myself enough to trust that no matter what happen to my family that I would be OK. That I could of taken care of us if I had to. That if God decided to change things I would be able to handle it.

The only thing I can do now is to tell others what not to do. Or at least try.

We all do make mistakes and it happens. Like I keep saying I can only go forward I can not go back and take back what has been done. I am paying the price in many ways for this. But I am also learning a few things also. School was not a total waste of time. But if I had not been in such a hurry or wanting to prove myself I might of taken the time to figure out if this is something I could do. If I had been smart I would of saw that our finances could not handle me going back to school. I would of done something else instead. But that was then this is now. I'm learning something new to make me an extra income. I'll continue to learn new things to better myself. I just will not be paying or taking out loans for my education from now on.

I laugh that one day I"ll declare I'll have a youtube degree. Or a internet learned degree. lol. Wish I knew then that this was possible without doing what I did in taking out those loans. I still can learn, find ways to live life. Its just going to have a black cloud over us for awhile.  A debt that is a lesson all in itself. One that I will never forget. One I will advise younger people about when they are thinking about their own lives.

Its all good to live a good life, have a nice house, good car, nice clothing and do the things you want. But at what cost will it be?? When in truth if you work hard enough at anything you still can accomplish those things in life you want. Who says that working a general kind of job is useless??  Its what you make of that job that counts. If you are McDonalds and doing a good job and can move up in the company than do it. If you are sweeping floors and you pay your bills than do that. If you own your own company and enjoy the profits than that is what you are suppose to do. Life it to short for regrets.

Student loans these days is stupid.  And when you do not make enough money to get that extra education then you need to be smart and make the decision not to go back to school until you can afford it. It may never happen. But you may find out that life had something else planned for you.

I see this now.
