I know a guy who faked his death to escape student debt
@FBI
did he get away with it?
so basically he passed his debt on to his relatives?
@@brawtff You don't inherit debt, unless you have an estate set up.
@@donperrignon - it all depends on the lender's policy concerning death-discharge.. direct-federal student loans are canceled if the borrower dies and the gov't discharges the debt.. however *private* student loan lenders don't always offer that same protection, so a borrower's relatives could still be on the hook for the remaining balance + interest/penalties even if the borrower has died.
Another thing. If you dont pay off your student debt then when you retire they wont give you your social security money.
+Chris Alexander We haven't seen that happen. Where did you get that info?
Bertha Yellowfinch it's public knowledge. But here is where I read it. www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/default-student-loan-29859.html
Chris Alexander
Thanks, I'll look that up.
Good thing most of us will never be able to retire 😂
Omg
NEVER ever DEFER. Trust me on this. I added 5 years to my payoff date just by deferring for 6 months. Worst mistake ever
how much debt did you have? and when in your loan repayment period did you defer?
@@joelhansen4310 Lol he never responds... I was hoping he'd at least give the reason it was the worst mistake, but I guess it's cuz of heavy interest additions.
You mean...pay off even without job
What’s defer
I might have to watch this 7 more times
The president of” the greatest nation in the world” ha-ha. announced a temporary postponement of payment on student loans and interests for 60 days due to the Coronavirus crisis. March 2020. ua-cam.com/video/FgB_aUqdNyM/v-deo.html
I’m only 15 & I’m already thinking about this 🤣
Update: decided not to go to college
@@baysavicious bruh why?
Soup Toast felt
I don't want student loans, I just want to travel the world with a good education.
Not mentioned in this episode, filling out the FAFSA is also how you apply for PELL grants.
OrUptotheStars And just in case it's not obvious to everyone, get as many grants and scholarships and as few loans as possible. Go for even tiny ones, because getting $100 for filling out a form is still a pretty good payoff.
Define pell grant
@@madsworld1115 Pell Grants are chunks of money the federal government gives to U.S. students to help pay for college. These grants are awarded based on financial need (which is why you have to fill out a FAFSA to apply). Unlike loans, Pell Grants do not have to be paid back.
It's funny because Tyler Oakley went to MSU and ended up with a bunch of debt... And now I'm headed in the same direction. (laughs nervously to hide tears)
This made everything feel worse
Hi text Micheal on 5409998138 he’s an expect 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 I got 35k$ within 10 minute all thanks to him for helping me out
UPDATED INFORMATION: Perkins Loans are no longer available!!
I thought ur profile picture was a hair on my computer screen. I tried to blow it off
I teach a class on financial literacy. I am playing your videos in several sections of my class. You do an excellent job of laying this information out in a way people understand. Nice Job!

Wtf is this? Im confused af! Holy shit im panicking!!!!
I love that this is so simple and yet explains so much
Haha, Billy Joel tickets and Chili's gift cards. You sure know how to appeal to Gen X!
Seriously though, Rose and I could have benefited from this information being so accessible back when we were in school. Luckily, we are several years out of college and are paying off debts much faster than expected, however most of our friends are not so fortunate. If you are going to college soon, no matter how financially stable you may be, definitely look into the things Mike talks about here. Trust me, it could save you years of stress.

Thank you for laying this all out! Also thank you for donating the revenue to The Trevor Project.

Unless u have a scholarship go to cc first then in state
A few helpful notes: 1.The url fafsa.com was recently acquired by the U.S. Department of Education, so hopefully in future it will not link students to a scam but to the actual FAFSA, 2. The online FAFSA is best for most people, but the paper FAFSA is best if the student's parents are undocumented immigrants (So, it's good that it still exists!), 3. The PLUS loan isn't necessarily better than private loans because of the high interest rate (currently 7.21%), BUT if parents are declined based on their credit, it increases the amount of Stafford loan a student can get ($4,000 more in Unsubsidized Stafford loan for freshmen), 4. Parents or students should start making payments on loan interest during college since they can currently claim up to $2,500 as a deduction on their income taxes for the next year
(Just wanted to add some more info. that you probably didn't have time for!)
Why would we want to give money to ILLEGAL immigrants who don't pay taxes?
@@Sir_Pumpington_Of_Dumpenshire they're talking about LEGAL citizens with undocumented parents.
Very timely for me unfortunately. ;P
Also yay for the charity donation! That's pretty cool of you!
I am French and thx you for your video. It helps me to understand the student debt. 👏👏 good job.
Student loans are always stressful, but you did an excellent job explaining this without any confusion .

I'd also add that some schools will give you more money if your parents apply for a PLUS loan and are denied. Granted, this will only be helpful to people whose parents will agree to do that (mine told me right before college that they would not apply for any parent loans or give me any money for school, so that kind of left me out of that benefit), but I know several people who got up to $10,000 more in aid per year from doing that, and that was all grants and scholarships, no loans.
The more I learn about this kind of stuff, the more I'm convinced that the best decision I ever made was NOT to go to grad school. My most important education-the one that taught me how to be an independent, self-reliant, well-adjusted adult-began when I left the cloistered halls of academia.
Joe Vasicek what did you do instead?
I'm curious too
Student loans are depressing.

scrilicon Stressed about adult things buddies?
m writing a college application essay dealing with a major issue with the education system,and i chose the cost of going to college, and this video helped me a lot.
After doing the counselling thing I have developed a fear of college lol. Not only will I be stressed to do well academically but I must stay on top of paying off my loans as I am learning
Don't get a student loan for a major like Liberal Arts or History. You can easily pay off student loans in the first year if you have a Bachelor's in a STEM major.
Well said. I wonder why do people go these schools that cost 50k per year. Go to a school that doesnt cost more than 25k and study and a STEM major and you will pay off your loans very easily
@@waleedabdullah6940 I agree. My family isn't that bad off (like financially we are good), but I don't see the point of going to a school twice the cost. Is it twice the value? Of course, it is not. The only school in that range that I am applying to is Duke reason being that they have 2 full rides in my county that are rarely handed out because no one gets accepted.
@fingertape Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
Hey Mike, thanks for the upload. It was very informative. I have a question... Have you ever heard of anyone devoting the majority of their income after graduation to JUST paying loans? Not taking on a house or a car note? Do loans no allow you to do that? Do you have to pay monthly or can you just throw your paychecks at them until they vanish?
Thanks
+Youssef Martinez That's what my husband and I did... We avoided lifestyle inflation as much as possible after we got jobs, we just lived very cheaply after we finished school and paid extra on our student loans whenever we had extra money (usually monthly). We paid off about $50,000 in student loans in around 4 years.
If you can live with family after graduating or pay low rent by having roommates, do it. If you can avoid getting a fancy car, and bike around instead, do it. Don't spend money on stuff you don't need, and pay that toward your loans. Even better, just do all of these things your whole life, saving as much money as you can--and then you can quit working whenever you like. Check out the Mr. Money Mustache blog for more on how this works.
This was fun and useful :)
SO HELPFUL!!!
dude, this is great. Thank you!!
5:40 Death or student loans? Where is the nearest cliff? xD
What was Tyler Oakley's loan?
If I have an outstanding payment at university I previously attended and I go to community college now, can I apply for a student loan?
For returning students with previous debt: how much of a student loan can be used for living expenses?
Sorry if this is wayyy too late. But you can use as much as the cost of living would be at your college. (Dorm+ meal plan). Atleast that's what was explained to me.
The new date to start your Fafsa application is now October 1st. It was just change last year, so don't wait until January, you want to fill out your fafsa apps as soon as possible to get the best advantages

I have a MASSIVE question for you guys at HTA. Would it be possible to create a Canadian version of this video as student loans are very different on this side of the border and it would be great to cover for the Canadian viewers like myself ;)
GREAT video on FAFSA, types of loans, and how to repay them! I'm glad you mentioned at the end how many people struggle to pay them back! According to TheGuardian.com--- a staggering 83% of graduates NEVER repay their loans in full!
I love the "speak in tongues" reference! Thanks for making this video. I am 33 years old and headed back for my undergrad and i am LOST with this all! Thanks again!
Watching this made me so happy I live and study in Australia as an Australian citizen.
Yeah, rub it in why don't you.
This video was fantastic! I had both unsubsidized and subsidized loans available and had no idea what they were thanks for explaining now I know I don't need them right now.
***** monthly scholarships,2015,www.usascholarships.com #scholarship
Is it bad that I'm 14 and I don't know my social security?! And should I register for the FAFSA application? It seems like a great advantage but am I too young?
Still confused. Will I ever adult?
okay so I will be going to community college for my first 2 years of college. Unfortunately due to my poor choice of procrastination I've missed all of the deadlines for scholarships at my school. A full for a full time student is a little over $1400. Would you recommend I just pay for it then apply for scholarships my following year or would getting a loan be okay in that situation?
Noelle Jamerson pay it
I think that January 1st beginning is being pushed back this year...for incoming high school seniors in the U.S, in August/September, FAFSA opens October 1st...
first year of college this year and was looking into loans thank you for the tips and pointers your amazing and super funny

Youre actually supposed to fill out FAFSA on october 1st
Thank you so much I was so confused
So you typically have 10-20 years to pay off debt?

Thank you for this. I start my freshman year of college this month and I had to to take out loans. I'm so grateful that my dad knows about this stuff but this is such an important video!
holy shit i'm so happy i'm not american
same

Wait these student loan only apply in America?
@@nelsonyang8071 no but its its wayyyy worse in american and wayyy more expensive
@@samyen3210 I see
The first time I filled out the FASFA it took weeks and there were tears. Now there is a way to link your taxes to fill in all the information if you filed online, which saves a ton of time. Also, when you turn 24 or in certain circumstances you don't have to claim your parents anymore. More money coming in to pay for school, but more to pay back.
You really should mention the fact that while you pay student loan interest the interest paid is a Tax Deduction. You will receive a 1098-E by mail or you'll be able to get the information online through the Loan Processor. So when you think about it, a longer repayment isn't a big deal when paying more over the term of the repayment for interest when you can take it off of your various 1040 forms at Tax Time.
www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc456.html
Also not mentioned, but forbearance is an option for those who choose to serve a year with AmeriCorps or other service commitments
If I accepted my subsidized loan am I able to start repaying this loan during the school year or during the summer of that same year (rather than wait until I graduate to start paying this loan)?

Awesome, this reminded me to change my payment plans, and pay off part of my loans. :)
I have sort of a request/tip that I thought of a while ago, but for some reason did not comment on (I think...): could you keep in mind how universal the advice in the videos is while planning them? I really don't mind that some of them are US-centric, that's most of your audience, so it's completely understandable. But I remember a while ago there were a bunch in a row that were very US-centric, and it made me a little sad (I like getting advice from you guys! it's so awesome!).
Again, this is something I noticed a while ago, I don't even remember when, so you may already be doing this, in which case: thanks! you are awesome. (you guys are awesome regardless ... did I say awesome enough? yes? awesome!)
Hey, Paula! Thanks so much for watching! This is something we took a certain amount of flak for early in the run of the show. Once we became aware of it, we worked hard to make close to all of our videos universal, if possible. I think this is something we've actually done well, and we are also hoping to have more international hosts in the next few months.
If it seems like I'm being defensive or anything, please know that's not my intention. I just say all of this to illustrate that we are really trying to do the best for y'all, and although it's probably impossible to make all our vids international, I do wake up every morning thinking about how I can help as many of you awesome folks as possible. :]
Keep remembering to be awesome! :D
- Mike
How to Adult oh it doesn't seem like you're trying to be defensive at all. I actually hesitated a lot when writing that comment, because I wasn't sure this was an issue anymore. But I thought 'maybe this is not something they've been reminded of before' and decided to comment anyway (I think I need to read the comments here more often, I would have realized this had already been addressed if I had). I just always like feedback when I make/do things, and I like to give it too. Looking forward to those future vids :)
***** You're so awesome. Thank you. :]
- Mike
I'd appreciate a disclaimer at the beginning of videos that are Americentric.
Many of your videos are not, such as how to make friends, but for the ones that are it would be nice to know ahead of time whether or not there's going to be any content for those of us who live outside the USA.
Got it. Thanks for the comment!

I just finished taking care of loans and such before this video -_- I should mention that for my govt loans I had to fill out 2 things on the fafsa website. This might be new. One is a form. The other is a little informative program where you fill out answers, it guarantees to the govt that you understand your loans and the payment plans available to you.
shaylajacquelyn That's called the Master Promissory Note (MPN). Anyone who is awarded federal loans must sign an MPN before they are allowed to receive the funds. Basically, the FAFSA is your application for the loan, while the MPN is your way of accepting the loan once it's been offered.
PinkGrapefruit22 Yeah and the other one is called entrance counseling. You have to do both entrance and exit counseling.
What if you dont need cash?
What happens if you take a partial loan and you know you can pay it back in a year or two even though you're still in school can you pay it off while still in school? Can you make pay it off entirely while in school still if you can?

If i am stuck between two schools, one where I would walk out with no loans/debt or one that has more prestige, should I go with the school from which I would have no loans/debt?
okay859 I would go with the no debt option. I am stuck with a massive student loan debt and the only way to get out is to pay them off or wait till I die. The borrower is slave to the lender.
okay859 Probably the one with no debt. Prestige doesn't necessarily equal a better education. Lots of schools that aren't particularly well known can give you an excellent education as well as offer opportunities to make connections in your field and build up skills outside of the classroom. As long as you make the most of those opportunities during your time in school, you will be well set up for your future!
I would also say that most employer don't really care where you went to school
yes
are student loans applicable to international students??
Many non-US citizens qualify for federal financial aid. One of the first questions at the beginning of the application is whether you are a US citizen. You can choose 'non-US citizen' and it will ask you the appropriate questions, like your alien registration number.
studentaid.ed.gov/sa/eligibility/non-us-citizens#can-i-get-aid
I took out my first private loan a few weeks ago for 26k, which is enough for one year. I just got a notice, though, that the school is only accepting 17k of my 26k loan. The 17k won't even cover my basic education and I have no way of getting the other 9k. What do I do?
I DID THE FASFA I RECOMMEND
Fafsa
so my school is offering me $41,000 which cuts my cost down to $13,000 per year and I am terrified because my family is not showing any sign of wanting to pay.they said community but the community college does not have my major. i am trying to apply for last minute scholarships (it being late May and all) and i am trying to consider whether or not student loans are worth it and where to look. if anyone can please help me that would be great bc i am having breakdowns from the panic and worry my family is causing me.

he sounded like Dr. Janosz Poha from Ghostbusters 2
So scholarship good student loans bad?
Usually you get both Unsubsidized and Subsidized.
I need help, what’s the point of a student loan if you have to pay the college back anyways after you graduate? Why would I want a loan that would just build up interest? Just don’t get the point of them

Videos like this remind me how grateful I am to be Scottish. The government pays our tuition fees, there is only one company that gives student loans, you fill out one application to get your tuition fees paid and to apply for loans and any other grants. Loans are repaid through income tax but only after you earn over £17,000 per year. If you never earn that much you never pay it back. If you don't pay it back after 30 years, they write it off.
Question is this for Canada too?

Learning.....
Is all this only applicable to Americans?
Hey guys, quick question:
Can I use a student loan for buying a car instead of the normal tuition? What type of loan is best for this situation? Note that I have not filled the fafsa ever.
leoking938 you could but it is a bad idea student loans are not bankruptable.
leoking938 I'm not sure about private loans, but for a federal student loan that would be illegal. You can only use the funds toward qualified educational expenses.
I'm not planning on buying a new car, I'm looking for something cheap, like 5k. I herd that some people have used them for trips and stuff, so I don't see why transportation would be a problem. That's why I ask, are loans limited to only tuition? Private and government ones?
leoking938 You can use them to pay for things other than tuition, but it still must count as an educational expense. For example, room and board, books, supplies for classes, etc. Transportation CAN be a qualified educational expense, but that generally means something like the cost of flying to an out-of-state college, or the cost of gas to drive to and from school. You can also use them to pay for study abroad, so when you say "trips," that may have been what it was. Also, people illegally use student loan funds to pay for non-educational expenses all the time. It is still illegal, and if they get caught they will not only be in trouble, they will be required to return the money to the government immediately. Private loans may have looser terms, but it will still depend on the terms dictated by the organization giving the loans. You would need to speak to the lender to find out what they consider a qualified educational expense.
leoking938 Another reason why it wouldn't really be feasible to buy a car with student loan funds (even a fairly inexpensive car) is that the funds are sent to the college, not to you. The college will apply the funds to your account -- meaning, any charges on your account will be subtracted from the total -- and you are only allowed to withdraw whatever is leftover for additional expenses like books and supplies.
my solution: screw student loans, never get them period
+2Good2BeTrue45 You got it right!
Write essays to apply for scholarships to pay for college. Stay away from loans.
@@catheybelcher4975 Getting a good GPA helps, too.
One more really important term to know: forbearance! Forbearance just means restraining yourself from exercising a legal right, but *in this context* it's when a loan holder will restrain themselves from collecting payments on a loan that's already entered repayment.
Say you're a year out from college. You've got a pretty basic job, you're making your payments and then BOOM downsized. You don't have the income to pay the bill, and going into bankruptcy (as mentioned) won't absolve the debt. But you *can* call your loan holder and explain to them what your financial situation is like and request forbearance. It's entirely at their own discretion but they might pause the repayment schedule while you get some income established.
Interest will still accrue, so it's not like this is free. However, since your payment schedule is paused, you won't have 6 months' worth of payments building up while you search for a new job.
True story: say your loan issuer sent everything to your parents who decided *not* to forward any mail and now they're asking for several thousand dollars from all those bills you never saw. (1) Try to get them to place the loan in forbearance. (2) Consolidate your loans to restart the clock. The penalty you pay is interest accrued on the lump sum and an extended payment calendar, but it'll keep you from trashing your personal finances in the meantime.
Now I'm really appreciating the free higher education here in Saudi Arabia!
Ok, so what the heck do I do, if my parent refuses to fill out the form, and I can't wait till 24 to file separately :c

Yes, but how do you PAY the MONEY!? I just graduated, so my loans won't be due for a few months but I have no clue how the money goes from my bank account to the government. A check? Are checks the thing?
Lucy Pericles Your lender most likely has a website where you can set up an account with direct deposit from your bank account. They should send you more information about that when your first payment comes do, but if you know the name of the company that services your loan, you can probably check their website even now.
thank you

You should avoid student loan debt as much as possible. You cannot get rid of it till you pay it off.
