College loans, house loans, car loans, etc. You're in debt as soon as you start. I may be very ignorant in the matter, but right now I'm thinking how scary it will be, and is for other people now, to grow up and live in the real world.
It is really making me want to try much harder in school so I have a better chance. Anyone have insight?
You don't need house or car loans right out of high school.
You'll most likely rent an apartment and buy a used car.
As for college, you can apply for thousands of scholarships within about a month time, and chances are you'll get a lot of free financial aide.
Or you could just skip college and join the military;
- free college after you serve (GI Bill)
- they pay to train you, and pay you to serve
- great life experience
- lots of benefits
