Add in loans and it wasn't really hard. This is why I'm actually a defender of student loans, used correctly their the best thing ever.
At 18 you can do dozens of life destroying stupid things. You can have a kid you can't afford, drive drunk , etc. Taking out a loan for school isn't going to hurt even if it doesn't work out
- Dracophoenix 5y agoLoans don't help with credit checks, background checks, and the now-common reluctance to renting apartments out to undergrads. I don't know how little paperwork and difficulty existed during the hallowed '90s, but I doubt those circumstances could be replicated for an 18 year old wanting to escape his family today without going homeless. Let's not forget that government-backed loans will require information regarding parental income and assets unless you file as "Independent", a status with its own restrictions on well may apply.
- 999900000999 5y agoI'm not that old, you could get an apartment in LA for $600 just 10 years ago. I was also working full time too, a good chunk of the time anyway, so that helped. You could seriously figure it out 10 years ago
