Anyway, I think these certificate frames have lots of potential uses, not just framing diplomas, so I'm not sure why this deal is getting thumbs down. I think the price is slick.

1. I didn't go to college after high school. I worked and saved and went later (going a few years later, as an "adult," definitely helped get me a better education too).
2. I got scholarships. While I got some based on test scores, there are scholarships for everyone, not just athletes and valedictorians. You need to actively look for them and be active on campus.
3. I rarely went out to eat. I made my own coffee vs. getting Starbucks. I lived in very low cost housing. I had a very used car. If something went on my credit card, it damn well was important. I lived within my means.
4. I worked while I was I college and averaged 24.5 credits a semester which saved me a ton of tuition by graduating with a bachelors in 3 years. After that, PhD stipend paid off any minor debt (if you can't find a PhD program with enough funding to pay you, keep looking).
TD;LR: If you lived within your means and only spent your student loans on tuition, that's great, but you are pretty rare and you chose a very expensive college.
