How to graduate with little to no debt and no scholarship:

- Go to community college and live at home for the first two years

- Work part-time even if it takes you longer to finish

- Don't get a fracking auto loan. A well maintained 90s Japanese car will go a long way. If you can program, basic car mechanics is easy.

- Don't pay out of state tuition

- If your going for an MS, get a basic full time job at a university first (A lot of schools have tuition waivers for employees)

- Don't YOLO on someone else's dime, if you're frugal and modest you can do it later on your own.
