Amen, sister! Preach it to the rafters!

LOL, forgive the hyperbole, but you are indeed preaching to a true believer on that subject, and I am extremely glad you brought it up again. It has been a while since I have seen it discussed on this forum. It cannot be said enough. Personally, I have offered the opinion that after 4 years the most debt a student should have is $30,000, maybe up to $35,000 if you have reasonable expectations of a solid starting salary. Just what my own tolerance for debt is, and others may be comfortable with slightly more. But finishing undergrad with $50,000 or $75,000 or more in debt is, as you say, a potentially crippling situation.
