After graduation, the expectation of paying back student loans may seem daunting and a bit surreal.

The Game:
With the mounting cost of higher education, most lenders are more than willing to loan you the money that you need to pay for school.


The Rules: (What you don’t know will hurt you!).
Your loan may carry a high interest rate—especially if you had no credit or less than perfect credit.
If you have multiple loans, this can be a huge problem.
Some government-backed loan programs have strings attached.
Family income limitations effect loan outcome.
Interest accrues
You do have to start paying back some loans 60 days after the student leaves school.
Missing payments or making late payments only increases the student loan debt.

Strategy and Solutions:
By consolidating, you can get a better interest rate and lower your monthly payments.
Make only one payment each month.
Lengthen the term of your student loan and lower payments by 50% by refinancing.


Winning:
Make Payments Faithfully
If you want to eliminate your student debt once and for all, the most important thing you can do is make your payments. This may be over-simplifying but, make loan payments faithfully and the debt will go away.
