Student Loan Debt Per Graduate by School by State 2017

It is now the fourth quarter of 2017, and despite all of the coverage surrounding the issue, student loan debt has not subsided whatsoever. In fact, it is still a leading form of debt in the United States as well as a considerable topic of debate in politics.

Plenty of politicians have put forward different plans addressing a variety of issues - including tuition, general reform, and student loan refinancing. Many have failed outright, while others gained attention without producing results in the end.

These are the ways student loans stop people from buying a house

Eighty-three percent of people ages 22 to 35 with student debt who haven't bought a house yet blame their educational loans.

Owning a home, the most common way Americans build wealth, can become a distant dream for many crushed by student debt.

In the late 1990s, Ed McKinley fell in love with a $65,000 house by a lake in New Hampshire.

The owners let him move in early and pay rent until the buying process was completed.

Inside his new home, McKinley installed a modern stove, painted the walls and began to redo the floors.
