The latest studies say that 70 percent of college graduates leave school with student loan debt that in 2014 averaged $33,000. That much debt at that age does not go away quickly and the impact of this is being felt in several areas, notably purchasing a home, starting a business and delaying marriage. TransUnion released a study in 2014 that said student loans make up 36.8 percent of the total debt for consumers ages 20-29. A study by Harvard Universityâs Joint Center For Housing said that the rate of home ownership for people 25-34 has dropped eight percentage points in the last 10 years.
