Tools & Examples: CFPB student debt visualizer

The Consumer Protection Financial Bureau has an interesting tool for gauging the impact of your student debt. Although not very specific, the "cost comparison" visualizer translates general college cost information into data regarding the long term impact of student debt. E.g. paying for an average 4-year private education with private loans will cost the equivalent of 63 tank-fulls of gas PER MONTH, for ten years after graduation. Pretty interesting thought experiment for anyone weighing financing options! Find the comparison visualizer here.
