College Debt Obligations Are Confusing
The good news is academia has begun to take seriously the need to educate students about their postgraduate loan payments. Indiana University sends out annual letters telling students how much they can expect to pay per month on the existing loans. The intent is to encourage them to borrow only what is necessary and make smart decisions. The not so good news is this doesn’t help those who already graduated. The financial wellness of many graduates is pretty murky. These people can use some good advice to get out of fiscal quicksand.
Confusion Reigns Supreme
College graduates leave campus with a market basket full debt obligations. There are federal loans, bank loans, and any other sort of debt that requires repayment. Students used every avenue to get the money they needed to pay for college, and are left with a confusion of requirements. Grace periods are not the only thing that can be bewildering. The amount of monthly payments, the question of forbearance, and just being able to budget for the debt can make anyone wring their hands. Colleges can provide some information but their commitment to the individual starts to fade once that person moves on. It helps to have a counselor. This professional can look through all of the debt and guide a person. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has a financial wellness plan that enables employers to help recent college graduates get a grip on the situation.
More Than Just an Opinion
Talk is cheap and often people get free advice from amateurs. The ideas are coming from family and friends who have no concept of debt payment strategies. This is why the Countrywide program can be so beneficial. We have a network of financial wellness counselors that is nationwide. A plan member gets easy access to someone who is knowledgeable about college debt. Anyone who is concerned about being embarrassed does not need to worry. Countrywide wants to help. Our financial wellness counselors are not the kind of people who will preach a sermon of fiscal responsibility to anyone. Instead, the counselors go through various debt obligations and make sense of the whole thing. It isn’t very long before the plan member has a blueprint of action. He or she has a better idea of what needs to be done. A budget is prepared and some options for repayment, such as electronic transfers, can be instituted. The confusion melts away like fog in the noonday sun.
