If you’ve seen the recent declarations by Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, then you know they have both said they want to create programs so students will be debt-free after college. Though their plans to accomplish this differ slightly their end goal is the same. Can you even imagine what you would buy instead if you could graduate debt-free?
