A Student Loan Recipe For Success
|

If you’ve already determined that you will need to use student loans as a way to help fund college, figuring out the right student loan mix between the types of federal and private student loans will help facilitate the process.
Jeff Fritz, of LendKey, points out that each student and family situation is different, so you need to consider your own circumstances when determining the right “ingredients” and types of student loans to include in the mix.
“Types of Student Loans: Which Ones Are Best For You” will give you a good overview of what loans are out there.
To learn a whole lot more about finding the right mix for your family, join us for a Facebook Live with Jeff Fritz tonight, 6/4 at 8:30pm (EST). Any family considering student loans will not want to miss this.
As part of the research we always encourage families to do, take a look at LendKey's competitive student loan rates:
Variable I 4.50% - 9.47% Fixed I 5.36% - 9.07%
*Rates are valid as of 6/3/19 |

Did you know that only 30% of families have an actual budget?
And of course, not having (and sticking to) one makes it that much more difficult to save for college.
That was only one of the things mentioned when Jean Chatzky helped kick off our “5-Day Borrowing & Lending” series during our Facebook Live last night.
Some other points discussed were that it’s never too late to begin following a budget. Tracking your spending for a couple of weeks to a month can help you create a "map" of where your money is going. And then you can assess or reassess your habits.
If you’re trying to squeeze out money from your already existing budget, making small changes can add up. For example: During the winter months, lower your thermostat one or two degrees, and during the summer months raise it one or two degrees.
On the college front, a good way to save is by NOT purchasing everything you think you might need for your child’s dorm room. Remember, anything they don’t use comes home with them at the end of the school year. It’s a huge waste of money!
