#4: Student Loan Primer with Sara Lorenzen, M.Ed., CFEI - Pt. 1

This episode is the first part of a two-part interview with Sara focusing on student loans in an effort to help listeners build financial resiliency. This first episode attempts to break down the jargon surrounding Student Loans. What is a GraduatePLUS loan versus Direct? What’s the difference between refinancing and consolidating? How can I figure out if student loans are the right decision for me? This episode has all of the above and more to help you begin your financial literacy journey. Most people today are dealing with student loan debt and it can be a big obstacle for many in their personal and professional lives. Personally having my own student loan debt led me to make this interview happen so future students can become more financially resilient at an earlier stage than I did.PLEASE NOTE: EVERYTHING IN THIS EPISODE IS MEANT TO BE EDUCATIONAL.
