If you're referring to social security, that money is not free at all. People pay into the system for 40-50 years so they can get a fraction of it back in retirement.

Regarding college inflation, that's purely caused by young people taking out loans. Don't do that. My kid is taking a good number of his classes at the community college. If y'all started shopping for the cheapest way to get an education, costs would come down.

If that happened en masse then the universities you ultimately want to attend will start requiring their courses and not accepting transfer credits or something else. Not saying it’s a bad idea or anything to take classes and then transfer them in.
