Show Notes
Join us for a special live recording from FinCon as we pull back the curtain on what's happening with student loans right now. We're talking about the current state of federal programs, what's working, what's not, and where things might be headed — especially for those of you dealing with big debt loads from professional and graduate programs. If you're a doctor, lawyer, or other high-earning professional trying to make sense of all the policy changes and figure out your best repayment strategy, this behind-the-scenes conversation will give you some clarity on what to expect and how to navigate your options moving forward.
Key moments:
(01:33) Payment counts will likely be wrong, requiring borrowers to self-advocate for corrections
(03:53) Without SAVE, deciding when to repay student loans vs. going for forgiveness is more complex
(11:52) Confusing times ahead as borrowers navigate between old grandfathered rules and new regulations to figure out which rule sets apply to them
