With no doubt, college is expensive nowadays. The cost of higher education is continuously proving to be a shock to the American conscience. As per the 2018 Education at a Glance report that has been released recently, the USA spends on college more than any other country out there. There are some people in the country who spend more on their children’s education than they earn. The two ways they find it easy to opt to bridge this gap between the cost of education and their earning are taking a loan or using their saving of whole life. Is it good to going for any of these options to support children’s education? Well, it is surely not as these options have their own disadvantages.
