How To Manage Student Loans

August 15th, 2011

Hallelujah! My wife and I just finished paying off another student loan. Two down, and one more to go!

This past year, nearly seventy percent of undergraduates finished school with outstanding student loans.  In fact, the average student loan debt in 2010 totaled around $25,000 per person!
