Not taking on a house or a car note? Do loans no allow you to do that? Do you have to pay monthly or can you just throw your paychecks at them until they vanish? Thanks

    +Youssef Martinez That's what my husband and I did... We avoided lifestyle inflation as much as possible after we got jobs, we just lived very cheaply after we finished school and paid extra on our student loans whenever we had extra money (usually monthly). We paid off about $50,000 in student loans in around 4 years. If you can live with family after graduating or pay low rent by having roommates, do it. If you can avoid getting a fancy car, and bike around instead, do it. Don't spend money on stuff you don't need, and pay that toward your loans. Even better, just do all of these things your whole life, saving as much money as you can--and then you can quit working whenever you like. Check out the Mr. Money Mustache blog for more on how this works.

    A few helpful notes: 1.The url fafsa.com was recently acquired by the U.S. Department of Education, so hopefully in future it will not link students to a scam but to the actual FAFSA, 2. The online FAFSA is best for most people, but the paper FAFSA is best if the student's parents are undocumented immigrants (So, it's good that it still exists!), 3. The PLUS loan isn't necessarily better than private loans because of the high interest rate (currently 7.21%), BUT if parents are declined based on their credit, it increases the amount of Stafford loan a student can get ($4,000 more in Unsubsidized Stafford loan for freshmen), 4. Parents or students should start making payments on loan interest during college since they can currently claim up to $2,500 as a deduction on their income taxes for the next year (Just wanted to add some more info. that you probably didn't have time for!)

    I'd also add that some schools will give you more money if your parents apply for a PLUS loan and are denied. Granted, this will only be helpful to people whose parents will agree to do that (mine told me right before college that they would not apply for any parent loans or give me any money for school, so that kind of left me out of that benefit), but I know several people who got up to $10,000 more in aid per year from doing that, and that was all grants and scholarships, no loans.

I really don't mind that some of them are US-centric, that's most of your audience, so it's completely understandable. But I remember a while ago there were a bunch in a row that were very US-centric, and it made me a little sad (I like getting advice from you guys! it's so awesome!). Again, this is something I noticed a while ago, I don't even remember when, so you may already be doing this, in which case: thanks! you are awesome.

Once we became aware of it, we worked hard to make close to all of our videos universal, if possible. I think this is something we've actually done well, and we are also hoping to have more international hosts in the next few months. If it seems like I'm being defensive or anything, please know that's not my intention. I just say all of this to illustrate that we are really trying to do the best for y'all, and although it's probably impossible to make all our vids international, I do wake up every morning thinking about how I can help as many of you awesome folks as possible. :] Keep remembering to be awesome! :D - Mike

Also, when you turn 24 or in certain circumstances you don't have to claim your parents anymore. More money coming in to pay for school, but more to pay back.

    Thanks for this video! Even though I've been paying off my student loans for about a year now, this video really helped clear things up and reassure me that I am in fact on the right path (yesss tiny adulthood wins). One thing I would add in terms of loan forgiveness is to develop a plan early - research forgiveness options before you start repaying your loans so you can calculate approximate monthly payments and put a good plan in place ahead of time. Student loans can be really overwhelming and mostly make me cry a lil bit, but you did a really great job explaining all of the things in a way that's super duper informative and funny (I laughed at student loans, which is a thing I never thought would happen and it was glorious). Thanks for being awesome!! :)

Of course, it is not. The only school in that range that I am applying to is Duke reason being that they have 2 full rides in my county that are rarely handed out because no one gets accepted.

    Videos like this remind me how grateful I am to be Scottish. The government pays our tuition fees, there is only one company that gives student loans, you fill out one application to get your tuition fees paid and to apply for loans and any other grants. Loans are repaid through income tax but only after you earn over £17,000 per year. If you never earn that much you never pay it back. If you don't pay it back after 30 years, they write it off.

    You really should mention the fact that while you pay student loan interest the interest paid is a Tax Deduction. You will receive a 1098-E by mail or you'll be able to get the information online through the Loan Processor. So when you think about it, a longer repayment isn't a big deal when paying more over the term of the repayment for interest when you can take it off of your various 1040 forms at Tax Time. www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc456.html

    One more really important term to know: forbearance! Forbearance just means restraining yourself from exercising a legal right, but *in this context* it's when a loan holder will restrain themselves from collecting payments on a loan that's already entered repayment. Say you're a year out from college. You've got a pretty basic job, you're making your payments and then BOOM downsized. You don't have the income to pay the bill, and going into bankruptcy (as mentioned) won't absolve the debt. But you *can* call your loan holder and explain to them what your financial situation is like and request forbearance. It's entirely at their own discretion but they might pause the repayment schedule while you get some income established. Interest will still accrue, so it's not like this is free. However, since your payment schedule is paused, you won't have 6 months' worth of payments building up while you search for a new job. True story: say your loan issuer sent everything to your parents who decided *not* to forward any mail and now they're asking for several thousand dollars from all those bills you never saw. (1) Try to get them to place the loan in forbearance. (2) Consolidate your loans to restart the clock. The penalty you pay is interest accrued on the lump sum and an extended payment calendar, but it'll keep you from trashing your personal finances in the meantime.

Specify when you are expected to pay it back, whether or not he will charge interest, at what rate, whether there are circumstances in which you are not expected to pay it back, etc. That will protect both of you (as well as your relationship) from future misunderstandings about what this means.

He also wants to take some basic construction and business classes specializing in landscaping and design. He is a unique kid. He hangs with trustees of a local botanical gardens and works there in the summer months. These men and women are influencing him as he works for them too in business ideas.

    leoking938 You can use them to pay for things other than tuition, but it still must count as an educational expense. For example, room and board, books, supplies for classes, etc. Transportation CAN be a qualified educational expense, but that generally means something like the cost of flying to an out-of-state college, or the cost of gas to drive to and from school. You can also use them to pay for study abroad, so when you say "trips," that may have been what it was. Also, people illegally use student loan funds to pay for non-educational expenses all the time. It is still illegal, and if they get caught they will not only be in trouble, they will be required to return the money to the government immediately. Private loans may have looser terms, but it will still depend on the terms dictated by the organization giving the loans. You would need to speak to the lender to find out what they consider a qualified educational expense.

The college will apply the funds to your account -- meaning, any charges on your account will be subtracted from the total -- and you are only allowed to withdraw whatever is leftover for additional expenses like books and supplies.
