Student loans can help you achieve your dream of getting a college degree. But they can also get you in serious debt if you don't consider all of the consequences before you borrow that money. Take the time to read up on student loans and how they can impact your future. Start with the tips below.
Make sure you keep track of your loans. You should know who the lender is, what the balance is, and what its repayment options are. If you are missing this information, you can contact your lender or check the NSLDL website. If you have private loans that lack records, contact your school.
Don't get too stressed out if you have trouble when you're repaying your loans. There is always something that pops up in a persons life that causes them to divert money elsewhere. Know that there are options available such as a forbearance or deferment. Just be mindful that interest continues to accrue in many options, so at least consider making interest only payments to keep balances from rising.
