3 Simple Ways To Manage And Pay Off Your Student Loans
Let's face it. Student loans are one of college students' worst nightmares. As a college student, I know that they are a pain in the butt. Sometimes I think I should have avoided ever taking out a student loan, but I have to admit that they helped me in their own way.
Enough of that. I want to prove to all current and future college students that all is not lost. I know I won't feel too stressed out when the time comes to pay back my loans because I have found three online methods to help me out. Let's take a look.
Upromise allows you to earn money for college by making everyday purchases. You can shop through Upromise, eat at their participating restaurants, grocery shop, or even invite family and friends to earn more money. The money you earn goes to your Upromise account. They give you an option to choose if you want to invest your cash-back earnings in a high-yield savings account, tax-deferred 529 plan, or to pay down on your college loans. You can even request a check to spend your money on any other expenses you choose to.
Smarterbucks is a rewards program that helps you pay down on your student loans. All you need to do is shop like you normally would in Smartbucks' marketplace and receive cash back that automatically goes to pay off your loan(s). They use a system where you sign up with their bank, "Smarter Bank" and get an online checking account with them. With it you will get their Visa debit card to use on groceries, etc. to earn more money.
Tuition.io manages your student loans for free. You can use them to manage all your student loans. That includes private and federal loans. I find this is a good way to track how much you owe. I can never keep track of the amount for some reason. I plan to start using these websites as soon as possible. I hope you will too.
