As a new college graduate, you're likely eager to start your career, find a comfortable place to live, and embrace the "real world." However, if you've graduated with significant debt, it’s crucial to create a plan to pay it off swiftly.Recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Education reveal that 26% of graduates borrow at least $25,000 to fund their college education.
"Many students graduate with a substantial amount of debt and are unprepared to manage it," notes Dick Willey, President and CEO of American Education Services (AES), a leading financial aid organization. AES offers resources like www.youcandealwithit.com to help students and graduates become financially savvy. Here are some key tips from AES:
- Consolidate Your Loans: By consolidating, you can not only lower your monthly payments but potentially reduce your interest rate. AES advises consolidating early to secure the best rates. With consolidation, you'll have just one monthly bill, simplifying payment management.
- Utilize the Grace Period: If feasible, make payments during your six-month grace period. This strategy can save money on subsidized loans, as payments go directly to reducing the principal balance, decreasing future interest and enabling you to pay off the loan earlier.
- Set Up Direct Debit: Direct debit is a free service that automatically deducts payments from your account, ensuring you pay on time. Additionally, it could lead to an interest rate reduction after several consecutive on-time payments.
- Leverage Everyday Expenses: By joining programs like Upromise, some participating merchants contribute a portion of your spending to pay off your AES-serviced loans. This turns everyday purchases into another tool for loan repayment.
By implementing these strategies, you can effectively manage and reduce your student loan debt, paving the way to financial stability.
