Every college graduate wishes they had someone to help them pay off their student loans or a way to avoid paying so much every month. After reading this article, you will know how to do just that. If you don’t hate school and want to avoid the real world and paying student loans for a couple more years, you can always go back to school. With the poor state of the economy many college graduates are deciding to go for their Master’s degree. If you’re a student your loans payments are deferred until at least six months after graduation. Also, check with your loan company because some defer payments as long as you are a half-time student. , meaning you are taking at least half the credits of a full-time student. If you don’t want to continue your education there is a way to get help with your loan payments. If you do volunteer work for AmeriCorps or Peace Corps it can lessen your loans amounts. Also, if you work as a teacher, doctor, or lawyer in low income area you can receive loan forgiveness. If you can’t get a job and don’t have any money saved up, you may qualify for loan a deferment, which would allow you to make no payments for awhile and not have it hurt your credit. Contact your loan company to find out if you qualify. Your last option for getting help with your student loans is to either consolidate your loans or see if you can extend the life of your loan. Loan consolidation is a good option if you have multiple loans. It would turn them into one monthly payment and sometimes it even lowers the monthly minimum payment. Extending the life of your loan obviously means it will take you longer to pay off, but it too lowers your monthly payments. If you end up getting a job you can always pay more than the minimum payment to pay off the loan faster. Research all options to figure out what best fits your own situation and call your loan company with any questions. Not all loans have the same terms.
