Podcasts about student loans

Most students and their families enter the college admissions process fully expecting to take out tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans. Does earning a degree really have to cost that much? Amy and Mike invited college cost advocate Mark Salisbury to elaborate on when borrowing for school is a bad idea.  What are five things you will learn in this episode? Why are student loans particularly burdensome, especially for young adults? What choices can increase or decrease the cost of college? What are ways to earn college credit? How can students attend college without borrowing too much? What are the long-term benefits of graduating without substantial debt? MEET OUR GUEST Dr. Mark Salisbury has spent 27 years in higher education. His first decade was as a soccer coach and admissions counselor. He then returned to school and earned a Ph.D. in higher education at the University of Iowa, studying college student access and success as a researcher on the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education and a member of the Teagle Scholars. Since then, he has published both academic research and more mainstream writing on higher ed, including commentaries for the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, interviews with NPR, and the blog, Delicious Ambiguity.

The conversation helps answer the following questions: What types of student loans are available/might someone have? What's the difference? When should I start paying off my student loans? How much should I pay off each month? Should I set up an automatic payment? What if you can't pay your loan? What are your refinancing options? Anything I should do financially before aggressively paying down loans? How has/will the COVID-19 0% interest rate on student loans affect repayment? Any programs/resources to help students manage their loans?

People who graduate from university have on average better health, better life expectancy, and better earnings than those who don't. But many students just can't afford higher education, especially in countries where there's less public money going into grants, bursaries and tuition waivers. With higher education budgets possibly tightening, where will the money come from? Lorraine Dearden, Professor of Economics and Social Statistics in the Social Research Institute at University College London talks about how student loans are handled in a number of countries and why, just like free lunches, there's no such thing as free tuition. Host: Clara Young, Editors: Taline Shahinian & Ilse Sánchez

TARTLE is adding to its leadership team with Martin Herrick as Chief Revenue Officer.  Martin has a wealth of experience in education and finance, having worked in higher education for seven years before transitioning to the private education lending space.  He has held roles as Chief Revenue Officer in the fintech space, working on a new financial asset class called Income Share Agreements (ISAs). Prior to this, Martin has made an impact in other C-suite and executive positions. He worked as the Vice President for Business Development, and eventually the Senior Vice President, for Education Loan Source in the Greater San Diego Area from 2014 to 2019. Martin's work with TARTLE brings him closer to individuals who are struggling to gain access to higher education. “The users who will be using TARTLE to fill out education packets are probably in the blind spot of most colleges and universities, who don't have a direct line of access to these students,” he explained, “They're not going in to talk to their college counselors, filling out surveys, or completing their FAFSAs. They're searching for platforms like TARTLE to find revenue that they can make for their family, to help with the tough times that they're going through right now.” “I'm looking to prove to the higher education administrators that we go out to, in the colleges that we partner with to buy data off of our platform, that these are students they would have otherwise missed out on had they not taken a look at TARTLE to see who's interacting with our platform.” Martin's unique skill set and experience in education, finance, and technology will be instrumental in the TARTLE platform's evolution into a marketplace that is better equipped to cater to its Big 7, particularly in initiatives related to educational access. This episode also deep-dives into: How the rising cost of education affects our capacity for human understanding The impact of COVID-19 on how people perceive higher education and student loans Discussing how student loans are mostly accessible to those who are already backed with generational wealth TARTLE's capacity to reinvent higher education Illustrating the difficulties people may run into when trying to pay for higher education Finding clear and data-driven solutions to making higher education more accessible Emphasizing the urgency of finding tangible methods to affordable higher education For podcast, radio, TV interviews, media opportunities, and other press-related inquiries, please contact Media Director Shiela Pialago at sp@tartle.co   Tcast is brought to you by TARTLE.

To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1085/29 The average student loan debt load is now nearly $40,000! At the same time, studies show that Americans are not saving nearly enough for retirement. Today, Rob West shows you how to balance paying off student loan debt with saving and investing for retirement. Paying down debt faster and investing more in a 401k both have their advantages: ●Your 401k contributions are made with pre-tax money. It's deducted from your adjusted gross income at tax time. That means you'll pay less to Uncle Sam. ●Because of the power of compound interest, time is critical when it comes to investing! That means age is one factor you'll need to consider when setting your priorities. ●If your employer offers matching funds when you invest for retirement, that is another key factor to consider. It's rarely a good idea to turn down free money! On the other hand ... ●The sooner you pay off your debt, the sooner you can redirect that money into saving, investing, and other priorities. ●Paying off debt will also help improve your credit picture overall as your debt-to-income ratio decreases. ●Plus, paying off your student loans early means you'll pay a lot less interest on them. Both options, investing more for retirement and paying off debt, have their merits. But there's also a third option: You could opt to direct a percentage of your extra cash into each of them. Next, Rob answers listener questions including the following: ●Is it best to meet with a financial advisor before beginning estate planning? ●Does employment income impact Social Security retirement benefits? ●Is there a good way to estimate what your RMDs (required minimum distribution) amounts will be in the future? ●How greatly should a financial adviser's fee structure factor into choosing an adviser?

Brian Walsh, SoFi Manager of Financial Planning and Student Loan Expert  In March 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic struck, the White House ordered the suspension of payments, interest, and collections on most federally held student loans. The most recent extension of the moratorium for more than 40 million borrowers will expire on January 31, 2022. The goal of the extension is to allow borrowers to plan for the resumption of payments and reduce the risk of delinquency and defaults after restart.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Justin is joined by Michael Stratford, an education reporter at Politico, to discuss all things student loans and federal financial aid. The two break down key differences between the Biden and Obama administrations' higher education agendas before covering how the Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) is being run under Richard Cordray — and how FSA is handling student loan servicers. Michael then details his reporting on the Department of Education's plan to restart student loan payments after what will be a nearly two-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Summary: Student loan debt has been a pressing issue in our country for quite some time, with little progress in resolving it. I sit down and chat with Paul Oster to analyze some of the causes of this phenomenon, and possible ways out. It seems that we are in an endless cycle of finance companies lending out more money, causing institutions to up their prices. There needs to be more awareness around the implications of taking a loan, and the long-term financial commitment it entails. Highlights: -Student loan debt has been a pressing issue for quite some time -There has been talk of forgiving student loan debt—which is great in theory—but isn't necessarily feasible -What sounds great can be difficult to execute -We must consider who is going to help fund this -Student loan debt is something we have to get ahold of immediately; finance companies are lending more, so institutions are charging more. It's an endless cycle -In order to forgive this absurdly large sum of money, something has to give -The deferment period and relatively low interest rates make loans attractive -There needs to be a more in-depth discussion of these things and adequate planning before loans are taken so that people understand the consequences -Students don't receive enough information on all of the obligations of a loan—it can affect the rest of your life and set you back financially. -It is good for building credit, but only if all payments are made on time -There are lots of negative consequences that can come about in the case of emergencies -Income-based repayment entails paying back your loans based on what you can afford -The government is trying to solve a problem that they created—which typically just makes it worse -The opposite of financial education is financial ignorance, and at a younger age it's harder to make a decision that can harm the rest of your life -Your credit score is either going to save or cost you money every month Useful Links: BetterQualified Financial Survival Network "Millenials Messing Up with Too Little Credit?" with Paul Oster "Threat of RansomWare is Quickly Spreading" with Paul Oster

  When we pursue passions, especially in a group, a decision needs to be made that the pursuit of the thing will be a way to make money.  Making sure everyone is aligned to the goal while still maintaining the love for the thing is a challenge many people face.  How do we do this without selling ourselves out? Banana Chant has an amazing outlook on this balance, and as a group, they find that balance seamlessly. It's not easy, but they talk about it openly in an effort to make sure that it is the thing that drives them, not the money.    ///   Today is a More In Common first…a full band…Banana Chant.  They are an up-and-coming Alternative Rock Band located in Miami, Florida. With influences such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Young The Giant, Jimi Hendrix, and The Beatles, Banana Chant's music is deeply rooted in an authentic appreciation for good old-fashioned rock and roll.   A 4 piece band made up of Gilexson (Singer/Songwriter), Tanis Perez (Guitarist), Vanessa Faith (Bassist), and Doof (Drummer), Banana Chant strives to make music that they personally like to hear. It is not for monetary gain but for the love of music that keeps Banana Chant going. They have one EP released, "The Balloon Room," and an album, "Paying off Student Loans," which was released on March 20, 2021.   Their most recent video, "Floating," is the bands' self-proclaimed magnum opus.  A song about isolation and addition, providing a haunting ghostlike quality with relaxed drums and a colorful bassline. The chorus is euphoric as Gilexson's falsetto and Vanessa's harmonies drift directly into your heart.   /// Topics we discuss:   Balancing monetary goals and the purity of the music Understanding roles and strengths in a groupDivision of labor Their process of music creationBreaking news from Vanessa What 'Can't Believe' means from Gio himself   References: Banana Chant WebsiteAlbum - Paying off Student Loans Song - Floating Song - Milky Way Jason Derulo – Take You Dancing Miami Beach Condo Collapse   Credits:   Music: Main Theme: "Eaze Does It" by Shye Eaze and DJ Rufbeats, a More In Common Podcast Exclusive.

The Department of Education says it's launching a major overhaul of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which critics think is too complicated. The proposed changes would affect around a half million borrowers those working in jobs with the government or non-profit organizations. Today, Rob West explores some of the confusion and explains a few of the changes that may be coming. The program forgives student loan debt for those who have worked in the public-sector and have faithfully made their loan payments for 10 years. Thousands of borrowers have complained that the application process is difficult to understand. This has led to costly and time-consuming errors, and applicants who have met all the necessary requirements have been told they are ineligible for loan forgiveness. The Education Department has admitted that only about 5,000 people have had their student loan debt forgiven in the 15 years existence of the program. The Education Department says it will review all existing procedures to find ways to streamline the application process and improve communication for all parties. Additional changes they want to make should give military service members and federal employees more access to the program and would allow members of the military to have their active duty time count towards the program, even if their student loans were in deferment or forbearance. Two hundred organizations and teachers' unions have pressured the White House to take steps to cancel debt for borrowers who have followed all of the requirements. The administration has extended deferment on federal student loan payments until January 31, 2022, due to COVID, and if you're still working full-time for a qualified employer, you will continue to receive credit toward the 10 years of required payments even if you're not making them. If you have student debt but don't want to work in the public sector, here are some things to keep in mind: Save as much as you can for college and consider a tax-advantaged 529 plan. Borrow as little as you can If you do borrow for college, before signing for a student loan, make a firm commitment to yourself that you will graduate no matter what. A college degree can lead to better earning potential down the road, but if you borrow for college and don't graduate, you'll have all the debt with none of the benefit. Rob says you should think of college as an investment. You want to find the sweet spot between following your dreams and choosing a major that gives you skills prospective employers want. And remember that the less your desired job pays, the less you can afford to borrow. Fox Business News has an interesting article about the imbalance many graduates are facing between the amount of student debt they hold and the annual earning potential in their chosen fields. You'll find it here: https://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/student-loan-debt-college-degree-study Next, Rob answers listener questions including the following: I started withdrawing funds from my 529 account, do I need to report that on my tax return? My husband and I have approximately $30,000 across three different IRA's, would it be beneficial to roll them all into a ROTH IRA? Should I transfer money from my 401K to a Kingdom Advisor, even if it incurs fees? Should I move my overseas investment accounts back to US markets?

More than 40 million Americans are in debt for getting an education. The federal government holds $1.6 trillion in student loan debts, a sum roughly on par with Canada's GDP. President Biden has canceled billions of dollars of debt, but plenty more remains. Plus, a freeze on payments, put in place by President Trump at the start of the pandemic, expires in late January. Unless Biden extends it, as he has done before, loan repayments will be coming due again.  How did the student debt crisis in the U.S. get so bad in the first place, and what can we do about it? Persis Yu, staff attorney at the National Consumer Law Center and Director of the Center's Student Loan Borrower Assistance Project, joins the podcast to explain the problem — and possible solutions.

We take a deep dive into student loans, the FAFSA, and the best borrowing strategies. We all have a unique financial situation, and where our kids decide to go to school, and what they decide to study has everything to do with the price tag of their education and their ability to pay down their debt. Thankfully, there are options for everyone, and Christine Roberts, Head of Student Lending at Citizens Bank, helps us break them all down. (Yes, we tackle the all-important “save, spend, or borrow” question!) In Mailbag, we dive into saving for our kids + our own retirement.

Leading child health care groups -- including the American Academy of Pediatrics -- said Tuesday the pandemic has triggered a "national state of emergency" in mental health among U.S. youth, and policy makers need to act. The Education Department issued new guidance for how to address the crisis in K-12 schools and bolster mental health. Secretary Miguel Cardona joins Amna Nawaz with the details.
