I have to teach my boys everything. I'm not surprised 18 and 19 year old kids are making poor financial decisions. It's probably exacerbated by the advice they are getting from financial aid offices. Those kids will probably learn a lesson that will impact their entire lives the hard way.

Government ruins lives and should be banned.
