well considering I'm 20, haven't even started school yet, this is not one of my concerns. After school when I get a job then I'll think about it but first I'd have to pay off the 100,000 dollars or more I'll be in debt from because of student loans and college bills. So by the time I pay that off I'll be around 35 then I can worry about retirement. There is a reason why I want to go to Canada for school, its cheaper. If I go to this Seattle school its 30k a year x that 4 thats $120,000. My parents can't pay for my schooling we aren't that financially well off at all. So I'm going to have to pay it all through loans.
Now if I get into this school in BC its 11k (CAD) a year (for international students) which is around 9ish last I checked and thats for room and board as well. 9k x 4 is 36k for 4 years. I can pay that off much quicker obviously. So if I can get in that means for 4 years worth of schooling I can get at one university would equal basically 1 year at the other place in Seattle.
Aint america special. Bankrupting our kids. lovely and no end is sight.
