Achieving a College Degree and the American Dream, Debt-Free!: How to Earn a College Education Without the Burden of Student-Loan Debt (Paperback)

If you're a teacher, legislator, or parent who's encouraging students to go to college, but are concerned about today's high cost of education and how they will pay for college, look no further.

The answer and methods to a debt-free college lies within this book. However, you must do your homework, take responsibility for your financial life, your actions and your future.

The easy but long-term painful way is to take out loans or - even worse - charge tuition bills to a credit card. After reading this book, you'll know how to:

- provide a financial education to children while they're living with you or in your class;

- ensure children use student loans (if they're necessary) for the right things;

- find alternatives to help students pursue a debt-free college education;

- avoid predatory lending practices that endanger the future for individuals and their families.

Student loans will not guarantee the American dream; in fact, they may guarantee the loss of it. Will your college graduate, former student, or constituent be left wondering, "If I'm so smart, gifted, and educated, then why am I so broke?"

Whether you're a parent, educator, legislator, or college-bound student, you'll learn how college students can navigate the challenges of paying for an education with the lessons, insights, and alarming data in Charley's America.
