Something that we talk about a lot at His & Her Money is student loans. With so many people out there struggling with their student loan debt, we know it can be overwhelming on a good day, but especially in today’s uncertain times.
Federal student loans are currently on pause until September, but then what? When school is officially back in session, where do you go from there?
Well, for today’s episode of the His & Her Money Show, we brought in somebody who’s a bit of an expert on the whole subject of student loans and everything — we mean EVERYTHING — that comes with it. Robert Farrington is here dropping facts and wisdom on tackling your student loan debt and coming up with your own effective, stress-free approach to knocking them out as fast and smooth as possible!
Robert touches on so many subjects: income-driven payment plans, the four steps to loan forgiveness, centering your mindset for success, pre- and post-pandemic education, and digging deep to build the student loan plan that works for you. It’s different for everybody and your path is out there – you just have to find it!
There’s also a lot to think about when it comes to COVID-19 and how it’s affecting students worldwide, from online courses to the rising admissions debate and so much more, and Robert wants everybody to be figuring all that out sooner rather than later.
He has some invaluable insight on how the college experience is looking in the future and what you should be doing in the meantime, with all the facts to back it up, and we hope you can take advantage of his wisdom!
