Episode 16 of Debt Payoff with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna explain how student loan interest capitalization works and why it can quietly add thousands of dollars to your balance. They break down the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized loans, show how unpaid interest capitalizes after grace periods or deferment, and walk through a real example of a $30,000 loan growing to $34,500. They also share practical strategies to avoid capitalization, like paying interest during school or making lump-sum payments before capitalization events.
