1. Financing your Education

Education is one of the most expensive endeavors that anyone can partake in. Like the stock market or real estate it’s an investment. Unlike the stock market or the real estate market it’s a very long-term investment and the investment of more than just money; you’re investing your future.

Part of the reason anyone tries to attain a higher education is so that they can have a job that they love and, ideally, make a good salary to support their family or their lifestyle. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t know how to finance their education so they take out massive education loans with ridiculously high interest rates. This might get to into a job you love but paying back the loans is often so taxing that many people find they would have been better off financially if they worked at a local fast-food chain.

Grants and Scholarships are free money that you can use to pay for your education. They can allow you to severely reduce your education-related debts or even go through school with no debt at all! Imagine what you could accomplish, how different your life could be if you could get your degree for little to no cost. There’s no better investment than one which requires very little initially and provides a huge return.
