Okay to worry about paying off student loans? Reaching $60,000 and I still have two more years in college!!!!?

We Answered:

You are the one who signed for the loans you got
You are the one who decided how to spend that borrowed money.

So you are the one who has to pay it back,

SO DO IT...find a way to put your efforts into honoring your committment to pay these debts.

You shoudn't compare to others, these are your debts, The faster you pay them off, the better your credit rating will be...
screw around with them, and you will have lousy credit rating and owe the same amount plus interest.

Private Student Loans for college?

We Answered:

This is a pretty standard question. Without spending too much time in a financial aid office, there is plenty you can do get the process started.
Start by going to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ and filling out the online form called the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Everyone is eligible and it costs nothing. Just takes a few minutes. Federal Stafford loans are the best deal going. After finding out what you are eligible for in terms of subsidized stafford loans, you can figure out if that is enough to finance your tuition and expenses. In most cases, it isn't. If you find that you need more money then you are offered, you may want to try a private student loan.
The best thing to do is compare the different private lenders out there, which can be done at http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestude…
Most of the rates are very similar but do a little research and pick one that you think is best. I would suggest Think Financial. The application process is very quick and easy, and the check is sent directly to you so you can use the money for whatever you want. The limits are much higher with private student loans, up to $40,000 per year. You can find out more information about a Think loan at http://www.thinkfinancial.com . Good Luck.
