“They Don’t Know What They’re Signing”: The Student Debt Trap

In this episode of The Real Deal with Abby and Regan meets real life decisions: college, trades, and calling. Abby and Regan talk about why so many teens are pushed into student debt before they even understand what they’re signing, why we’re “no student loans” moms, and how to help your kids find a path that fits their God-given gifts—whether that’s college, trade school, military, or beyond.

Plus: the importance of choosing a campus that aligns with your family’s values, spiritual formation, and the launch-year reality every mom feels.

In this episode:

• The student loan trap (and why teens can’t grasp the burden yet)

• College vs. trades vs. military: helping kids find their lane

• Paying for college with scholarships + realistic planning

• Why values + formation matter as much as a degree

• “Equally yoked” and the long game of faith + family
