Does that become your responsibility as well? I am assuming so, but I have heard conflicting stories on student loan debt, so if anyone could clear up my confusion…

antheia asked:


I took out a $17,000 student loan last year because I have failed to qualify for any financial aid. Again, this year, I was turned down again, but I didn’t factor that $17,000 in anywhere. Would that money change anything? If so, where exactly on the application can I put that I am in debt that amount?

C W asked:


I will graduate in December with about $100K in student loans. Would like to buy my first home in the next 2 years. My projected gross income is $85K. Should I save for down payment? Pay a big chunk of student loans? A little of both? I have zero credit card debt and no car payment. Thanks in advance!

Rod asked:


I know people who went to private colleges or went out of state to college and now they have close to $70,000-$90,000 in student loan debt. Is a bachelor’s degree really worth that much? I am trying to get though college the most affordable way I can and they call me cheap. What is the average student loan debt out here these days and is it really necessary?

Cal W asked:


I have about 43k in student loans, one loan is 8.75% and the other is 5.34%. I figure I have about $750 a month I can either put towards the loans. My question is should I put all of that towards the loan, or put some of it in savings?

Loon-A-TiK asked:


i have a lot of student loan debt and want to consolidate. however, i’m sure that because it is a private loan they’re going to run my credit. do you know what is the lowest score i can have to consolidate?
I don’t need debt management- my bad credit is the result of the ratio between my income and huge student loans. This totally messes with your credit. I’m working with a law firm to get this under control. I just need to consolidate my loans and while I can wait until my credit improves, I want to start saving money now.
