What is a good rule for how much student loan debt you should have?

An excellent rule of thumb is to take out no more debt then you expect to earn in your first post college job. If you expect to earn $35,000 your first year you should not have $50,000 in student loan debt. This is a simple way to know if you have overextended yourself. Pass this on if you have a friend that can use this information.
