Student loans, like marriage, are both complex and specific. It’s important to consider all of your options before making a decision and make sure that both you and your spouse are on the same page.

The end is in sight! Last year the Biden Administration announced yet another action in its efforts to address the student debt crisis: a one-time adjustment to borrowers’ payment counts to (re)align them with the income-driven repayment (IDR) program.

Talk to your friends about student debt. There are millions of Americans quietly suffering under the burden of bloated student loan payments without the knowledge or support they need to get out from under them. Bit by bit, we can all help each other, and build a future where neighbors can achieve their dreams without the onus of excessive debt.

It may not be sexy, but auto-debit is an invaluable feature that makes sure you’re up-to-date on your student loan payments—crucial if you’re pursuing Public Service Loan Forgiveness and want those payments counted!
