#173 - Time to pay those student loans- Dan Rooker
According to studentaid.gov, there are a whopping 45 million borrowers in the US who have Federal student loan debt – that's almost 15% of the country's population. Pretty soon those borrowers are going to need to start making loan payments again as the student loan payment pause is coming to an end after providing borrowers with payment relief for the last 3 plus years. To talk about what this means and the options that student loan borrowers currently face, we are joined by Certified Financial Planner™ practitioner and Certified Student Loan Professional™, Dan Rooker. Dan will give us an overview of the new SAVE plan and how it differs from prior repayment plans, actions that borrowers can take today to prepare for their payments to start up again, and resources that advisors can leverage to learn more about planning for clients with student loans.
