Here’s a repost , since I’m busy studying. 🙂
One of the favorite things people tell me when I try and explain the way I’m doing college is…
“Well, how are you ever going to find a spouse that way? I met my husband/wife at college!”
Now I have NOTHING against meeting your spouse at college. My parents met at college. It’s a great place to meet guys and gals.
But if that’s the ONLY reason I’m going to college (and the only reason you can think of for why I should go to college) than we have a serious problem! That is one expensive husband.
And if I have loads of debt so that I can find him, and he has loads of debt so that he can find me… how are we going to feed the kids?
Besides think of all the other places you could meet your future spouse. Menial places like CHURCH! Or family friends. Or a conference. That will save you about 60,000 dollars right there, and the whole family gets to share in the memory!
I’m not bashing finding your spouse at college. It worked for my parents, and it continues to work. But, unless you have money to throw away, try some other options first.
