Expand Economic Opportunity by Supporting Community Colleges

Hopefuls for the 2020 presidential election have unveiled their higher education policy agendas, which largely focus on emphasizing debt forgiveness and free tuition as means to make postsecondary education more accessible. The attention on college affordability is indeed merited. It is a top issue for many young Americans saddled with student debt.

As a new school year begins we are left to wonder the same question from generations ago, should the cost of college be on society or the individual.

The question of who bears the financial responsibility is a never ending question. My personal brief, the US could start be offering a two-year degree free to anyone with the will and desire the opportunity to far their career at a local community college. Apparently a few people agree with my assessment.

Hola Exchange members, in regards to personal financial independence most people ask the same question – how do I create wealth. One method to create wealth is to spend less on the necessary goods and save the difference. The video above is not a deep dive in the financial aspect of your money, but on the practical points of the second biggest bill most people will make, their car. After your house, and in some cases your college tuition, your car is one of the most expensive items you will invest into. The term invest is a bit miss leading. In the purest sense an investment is something that generates an income. Cars, on the other hand, do not generate an income, but a car provides you a means to create income. Should you spend more on a deprecating asset or less? Watch Mr. Kilmer and you decide.
