How to Pay Off College Loans on a Budget


College can be a great opportunity for an education and a wonderful experience. The rude awakening comes once you receive the final bills, and the letter informing you that it's time to repay that student loan. Most loans don't require repayment until at least one year after graduation. While it may take some time to get on your feet after finishing college or if you are living on a strict budget, it can be hard to begin repaying the loan. There are special programs that you can join or steps to take to begin repaying college debt.



Step 1


Sign up for a deferred payment until you can pay your monthly balance. Be sure to try to pay on the interest when you can, as that will still rise throughout the year.

Step 2



Apply for economic hardship programs if you are only working part time or making minimum wage. Applicants must reapply every year, and can defer their payments for up to three years usually. Some student loans also offer forbearance programs through which students can apply if they are having financial hardships.

Step 3

Speak with a college loan customer representatives and let him know about your current income status. See if it is possible to get your monthly payments lowered if you are currently unable to afford your present payment plan. Some may require extra applications or paperwork, but you can lower your monthly payments if needed.

On a Budget?... Look for coupons


This economy is making all of try to scrimp and save. We frown at the high gas prices, and the gallon of milk that continues to rise. We browse through the newspapers looking for coupons, hoping to save some money somewhere---somehow .

And then as we start to build some kind of savings, the car begins to have trouble. And then we either need to buy a new car, or buy parts. Well how about looking for some car rental coupons to rent a car until we can get our car fixed. Or if we are going on a trip , there could be some car rental coupons available on the internet as well. All we have to do is just get friendly with google, and then we should be on our way to finding the savings that we need.

Still stumped for coupons? Check out another website that is free to join, http://www.couponmom.com/ . You can get grocery coupons, restaurant coupons, and more. Find savings to popular stores like Walmart, Target, and Walgreens.

So perhaps when our parents were cutting coupons back at the kitchen table when we were kids---they did have the right idea...--Except now--all we have to do is click and print :) No scissors necessary ....
