Episode 115 Published 5 years, 4 months ago
Description

What do student loans have in common with the Budweiser Clydesdales? You know, those massive and powerful bay-colored draught horses that you see in Bud advertisements?

Forgive the analogy, but you are a Clydesdale. You have more power than you think to steer your professional and, yes, financial destiny.

Join me as I make the case that you may be underestimating your ability to handle the load of student loan debt by discussing why our student loan system is, literally, an income tax you can buy your way out of.

In today's episode, you'll find out:

  • When to certify your income for forgiveness
  • Why you should consider amending tax returns if you're married
  • The best time to apply for the PSLF benefit
  • The definition of full-time work for PSLF purposes
  • Why the best time to get student loan help is as soon as possible
  • What to do if married couples with student loans can't afford to file tax returns separately
  • Looking at federal student loans as an income tax that you can buy your way out of
  • Why moving from California to Nevada can practically cancel your student loans
  • Why the student loan payment and interest pause is unnecessary for 95% of grad students
