Education is one gift that a parent can give to their children that can't be stolen by anyone. Almost every parent knows the importance of education, that is why they work themselves day and night just to send their children to school.
But no matter how some parents strive just so they could send their children to school the money they earn is not enough.
As everyone already knows education is getting more and more expensive as the country progress. If before sending your kids to school is affordable, sending your kids to school today can leave you broke. But there are ways on how you could send your children to school especially when they reach college and that is through student loan.
However the problem of getting student loan is after your children graduates for they will be faced to pay big amount of money for they loan monthly. Although your son or daughter will be given 6 month before they start paying for their student loan the big problem is if they can find a job in less than 6 months.
Finding a job is not easy especially now that there is regression in the United States, the ones that are hired after graduating college is either the top students in their class or the lucky ones. But there are ways on how you could pay for your loan.
One of these days are getting freelance job or part time job although the salary is not that big but at least the money that you'll get from that part time jobs can help you pay with your student loan. You could also consider other repayment options here are some of the repayment options for you.
But you have to ask first the company where you had your loan if they offer this repayment options.
Graduated Repayment: This type of repayment option will allow you to pay in the early years of your loan. This also allows you to have interest-only payments for your first 2-4 years.
Income Contingent Repayment: This repayment will base your payment on your income so it mean that if you are earning high your payment will also be high and if your earning is low your payment would also be low.
Extended Repayment: By the word extended it lengthens your repayment period that may result in lowering your monthly payments but you will end up paying more on your interest because of the extension.
Standard/Level Repayment: Your payment would be the same throughout the life span of your loan your payment will vary with your interest rates.
People who want to get loan must remember to consider first whether they could afford to repay for the loan that they have applied or not.
If you are not sure then better not go through your loan but if you are confident that you can handle the stress of the payments then do what you have to do and repay your loans.
