I was $80,000 in debt and I had been through a series of failed relationships where my financial insecurity was a real problem. I had just thought that was going to be my life forever, and that is a really heavy thing to live with.”

I went to college in the 80s. My student loans were manageable, and I paid them off in the first couple of years after graduating. That said, I would love it if college were free to all. Our country and economy would benefit greatly if our citizens were better educated.
