Q: I wanted to know if it is better to make payments to my current student loan of $200 per month at a 6.8% interest rate or if I should continue to pay on my past loans at 3.25%.
Thanks for your help!
A: Students who are making payments on their student loans face the challenge of having multiple interest rates to juggle. This is a common situation where you consolidated your undergraduate loans at a lower interest rate and took out new student loans at the current interest rate.
The current interest rate on Stafford loans is 6.8% fixed. In comparison, when you separate from school again, you can be making payments on multiple interest rates.
The best thing for a student would be to take all your student loan payments and combine them into one new consolidated student loan; this will result in a lower monthly payment, lower than what you had been paying keeping them separate.
The most common reason graduates choose to go this route is to lock in a new loan with a much lower interest rate, which in turn creates more cash flow for you each month and more cash on hand for other expenses.

I have just recently recently registered with Varolo.com. I think it is one of the best online website that has ever been seen on the internet. This is a very legitimate company that pays off. They have great training tutorials when you first get started. You really do make money on Varolo.com but, in order to make the money you first have to read the training materials and follow all instructions to earn money. You also earn prizes and jackpots as well. Please checkout the website:www.varol.com/village/PalmettoStar for additional information. Thank-You THIS IS NOT A SCAM!!!!!!!! |

The #1 complaint about the system is that it can be kind of hard to actually get the 10 or 12 people you need under you to sign up, then you have to figure out how to get them to get people to sign up, etc… If you just sign up and never get anybody, or they never get anybody, its basically a waste of time, but on the flip side, if you have time to commit to ten minutes of ad watching a day, and are able to build your village, money can be made. |
