The Federal Student Loan Forbearance is officially OVER😧 As of TODAY, interest rates have officially resumed on the qualifying Federal Student Loans that have been paused since March 13, 2020 and First Payments are due NEXT MONTH (October 1, 2023).
There’s no better time than now to create your plan for how you will knock out these student loans and get them behind you in the rear view mirror!
Over the past 22 months I’ve been hard at work to put my plan into action, and the proof is in the pudding, because as of RIGHT NOW, I am OFFICIALLY DEBT FREE!
In this video I share 6 steps I used in my debt-free plan, that hopefully you can find helpful to your debt free journey as well!

This is the wisest young lady I’ve heard on KZfaq: solidly standing on her feet with a strong head on her shoulders instead of in the clouds. I’m so happy to hear a sane person speaking about real-life GOOD decisions, prioritization, sacrifice, delayed gratification, and planning effectively for the future. I am 40 years old with $102,000 student loan remaining and paying it now, which is very difficult because about $400 of interest is added monthly!

Thank you so so much! Thankfully I was able to watch and see how my parents went from loads of debt to financially free(using the Dave Ramsey Plan), and it really helped me see how much more peaceful life is without debt, and made that my goal! And man that interest is a real bummer! But I am definitely wishing you the absolute best in your debt free journey!

Heyyy! I'm not super well versed on all this but I personally used MEFA (Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority) for my private student loans. It was cool because although I used my mom as my cosigner, we were able to select a loan option where her name falls off of the loan after I make a full year of payments

@nurselifewhit 8 ай бұрын

Man! I definitely went through a post-grad identity “crisis” too after my first bachelor’s degree and ultimately switched from Physical Therapy to Nursing! My ABSN certainly was fast-paced, but it was actually very manageable since I was not working (and also didn’t really have any other responsibilities outside of myself), so I was able to maintain a pretty decent GPA of 3.75

Heyy girlie! I used MEFA for my private student loans (Massachusetts Educational Finance Authority - that’s just the name, you don’t actually have to live in Massachusetts to use them) My mom found it actually and chose it because they had an option where she could be the cosigner of the loan but after like a full year of payments consistent (or something like that) then her name would come off the loan as cosigner and it would fully just be in my name
