Student loans have gone crazy! Payments are starting back up in October and people are desperately trying to figure out what they need to do to prepare. So I’m going to share everything you need to know related to getting ready to start repaying your loans again. There have been a lot of changes so if you have student loans or are thinking about getting student loans, you need to listen to this. 

In the episode, I share:

  • Lump sum payments and who shouldn’t be making them

  • Steps to take before payments begin in October

  • Forgiveness plans and who they’re for

  • Why you need to be thinking about your student loan situation

  • The coming Income-Driven Repayment tracker
