Are you one of the 40+ million Americans with student loans? Student Loan Solution: 5 Steps to Take Control of Your Student Loans and Financial Life was written for you.

This book helps you pick the right student loan repayment strategy for you. We accomplish this by:

  • Understanding our student loans
  • Understanding repayment options, including income-driven repayment
  • Being aware of loan forgiveness opportunities, especially Public Service Loan
    Forgiveness (which is just 120 monthly payments and results in tax-free forgiveness!)
  • Knowing what to do if you are behind on your loans (including if you are in default)
  • Knowing when to prioritize paying down student loans and when to prioritize saving,
    investing, and other financial goals

The book doesn’t stop there. It goes into detail of how you can improve your personal finances, always within the context of your student loan debt. Learn more about the book here.
