Over $100,000 in student loan debt. I don’t make enough $ - HELP?
Posted by admin in Financial Aid
I graduated from college in December and my student loans are beginning to come due. As of right now I only have 4 loans in repayment and I already can’t afford them! I got a good job after graduation - entry level but still in my field. In July the rest come due and I have no idea what I’m going to do! I have missed my payments for last month because I just cannot seem to make ends meet. I’m trying to find a 2nd job but so far no luck with this economy. nI have been hearing that I need to get a consolidation loan but I’m not sure what to look for in a good one and I need to find one that can consolidate both my federal student loans AND my alternative student loans as well. Can anyone help me?!nAlso: Is there anything I can do RIGHT now to help with missing that payment before I miss another one and they start talking about defaulting?! Obviously I am overextended with my finances but I don’t know what to do about that…nThe whole reason I HAVE so many loans out to pay for college is because my parents will not help me with any education expenses. They believe I’ll appreciate it more if I pay for it myself but made too much $ for me to get enough financial aid. nAsking them for help is out of the question.
