Hi Fatigue. I don't know where you are but in Canada continuing education students do well on student loans, and count every penny. Some have the benefit of University Scholarship Fund which is a system started when your child is born and you pay so much a month until it reaches maturity and it is all invested for that young person. This is up to the parents though.

I understand and know first hand that students attending the University of Toronto in Toronto Canada are frequent visitors of the Daily Food Bank and work a few part time jobs to make ends meet. It isn't easy, I know.
