The starting income in the attention is around $35,000 – $40,000. we have the tyro debt of about $50,000. How can we compensate this off during the in accord with rate as well as still be means to means an detached in NYC? Is there anybody else in my situation? Is $50,000 as well most debt for an undergrad?
Its not that much; coinsolidate your debt using sallie mae and pay it off over 30 years.
The interest rates are very low, ands it will help you build your credit.
Getting an Apt in NYC on your salary, ur on your own with that one.
consolidate your student loans, and get a fixed interest rate and find a job..
it’ll take you about 10+ years to pay it off. If you have a little extra money, pay more than expected every month toward the loan. The faster you pay off the loan, the better.. Depending on what type of loans you have you’re actually paying something like $7,000 – 10,000 in interest stretched out over 10 years… so add that to your $50,000.. They’ll give to an overall number in your statement.
yeah, that’s why they’re evil. Kinda like a racketeering business.
Please don’t consolidate with sallie mae, use a different lender. 50,000 is much, since I have 8000 in undergraduate loans. anyway, consolidate is good and maybe think about selecting income contigency. you payments will vary by your annual salary. Also, getting a roommate could not hurt either.
Consolidating your student loans might be a good idea. When you consolidate, you can extend the term of repayment up to 30 years (depending on how much you owe). This gives you the cushion of a lower monthly payment. However, it means you will end up paying more interest over the life of the loan.
Sallie Mae has a calculator that will let you try different options and see what your payments will be.
