Not Boomer: Could be the 6.5 years accumulating loans it took to graduate, or the $1300 cell phone, or the gym membership you don’t use, or the lack of room mates at the apartment, or the useless major you chose. Or, you know, lack of fiscal planning and realistic expectations.
My son boomeranged back to the house and I’m a little touchy.
Yeah, one of my friend’s daughter’s took some flak from her friends because she chose cosmetology school over college. But she finished school in 18 months with $4,000 in student loans that she’d paid off within a year of graduating, and now, including tips, she’s making over $40,000 a year with no debt. No, she’s not going to be rich, but she’s not broke either. And she’s still in her 20s.
