        A lot of it isn’t what people are smart enough to do, lots of people get tricked into loans they can’t pay back.

        When our kid went to college, 3 separate schools wanted us taking out loans of $56,000 a year… $224,000 for a 4 year degree…

        But I could see other parents, after getting 3 schools telling them the same oddly specific number “Well, I guess that’s what school costs!”
