Abby, my five year old, asked to have her training wheels taken off of her bike last night. I was nervous for her as many of the kids were playing [...]
This is a powerful question and one that every parent who has student loan debt will have to decide at some time in their financial journey. This is certainly one of the most asked questions in personal finance and one that can be loaded with guilt.
