  • Everything You Need to Know Before Taking Out Student Loan Debt - Student Loans Explained 2020
    Finally making a video covering everything you need to know before taking out student loan debt. I graduated with $50k worth of college debt, and have been documenting my journey paying off debt ever since. There's so much info about student debt that no one teaches you in school, so this video is going to cover everything I wish I knew before taking out student loans. This is a 'student loan debt explained' intro video to anyone who is having trouble understanding how student loans work, how much student loans do I need to take out, how student loan interests rates work, etc. I also explain the difference between government vs private loans for college, and which ones are better.
    Let me know if you have any questions or want to see a part two on paying off student loan debt!

      I’m personally going to an online school at an in state university after cc I won’t have to pay living expenses just tuition which is 10k for the school I picked and after fafsa it should be less I’m going to take out the low rate federal loans for that little amount and continue investing my money elsewhere and then when I graduate I will put my investment on the loans 🤷‍♀️ My family said it was a good plan It’s not as important for me to network as I want to do real estate anyway but I still want to go to school

    You should keep in mind that there is also the option of starting your college career at a Community College. Don't let people make you believe that you are less than or underestimate the education you would get at a community college, plus they are not going to pay your debt at the end of the day. I did my first two years at my local Community College and didn't pay a thing! I'm in the process of going to a 4 year university at the moment and about to take out some loans for the remaining 2 years. But attending community college cut the price in half. You should research on-campus jobs that cover some of your fees at the college/university. For example, for my senior year I'm interested in becoming an RA (residential assistant) which would cover my room and board costs. With all of that being said, it's in your best interest to do your research because there are many ways to make your college experience more affordable!

    I thought going to school loan free was impossible.
    I graduated high school in 2020. Most of my peers have already gone to school. I haven’t. I’ve been saving. This fall I will be going to school with my program paid for in full.
    No, I’m not going to an expensive university, no I’m not taking a 4 year program. Yes I will be working part time while studying.
    But this time next year I will be graduating and starting my career debt free. I think that accomplishment is worth waiting a few years for.
    Student loans are not your only option.

    I took out a lot of student loan debt, none private, but I am majoring in Cybersecurity and am comfortable with taking out that debt (at the time, only way I could see myself affording school, but I'll be still applying to scholarships ofc.)

      @@alenabellmays799 So currently, I work full-time, and my loan payments aren't due until next year. I would highly recommend looking at scholarships to minimize the amount of debt you have; student loans shouldn't be your first option IF you can afford it.
      I would also recommend keeping track of your interest rate and what you'll owe monthly; that will put into perspective how much you need to be making as well to comfortably pay them off.

    One thing everybody must do in life is manage their income, yet there few schools that teach life skills, consumer economics or budgeting and investing. All levels of governments are very poor at it so vote for somebody who does and knows about finance and business. They say budget deficits do not matter. Can you buy anything by just putting it on credit continuously with a never ending credit limit increase? No, your income is a restricting factor. Same thing at the macroeconomic level. Need evidence? Education cost more so higher loan balances occur, housing costs more, there is inflation except for incomes that are deflating until Trump's policy anyway. Did you like the Obama economy or the Trump economy better? Trump, then you sway towards capitalism. See above for the good news.
