After going to a good school, working hard and graduating, now you're faced with the hard part- paying your student loans. Second to U.S. mortgage debt, Americans have more than 1.36 trillion dollars debt of student loans. However, these loans don't necessarily have to be a burden. You can travel and still pay your debt in time with these tips.

Live frugally

I don't advise on cutting extra expenses on your budget to save for travel. Don't stop indulging in evening lattes with friends or quit your cross-fit

Don't put your travel schedule on hold because you don't have to pay the entire amount at once. Instead, deal with these loans in small bits at a time. "Rome wasn't built in a day." Take on a positive mindset that you can pay all your bills, save some extra money, and travel.

Take on additional jobs

Consider working part-time. If you have a full-time job, you're living frugally, saving on extra as much as you can and still your savings are not increasing as fast as you would like, I recommend you pursue one of your hobbies or interest. You can take a retail service job or do some freelancing to supplement your revenue.

Travel cheaply

In addition to living frugally, look for ways to lower your travel expenses. You can start by booking the cheapest flights to the city you're going. Book the most affordable accommodation that has good reviews and the place is safe.

Don't let loans sabotage you travel plans. If you're diligent about saving, managing, and earning cash for travel, you can take the much longed for trip. To recap, I recommend you live frugally, open a saving account, treat student loans as you treat your monthly bills, look for extra source of income to supplement your income, and travel cheaply. Let nothing stop

    My Past Due Account

    As I mentioned in my first e-mail, I only recently became barely financially stable. Due to the brevity of this stability, I couldn't make any estimations on my future payments. Now that I have a better understanding of my finances, I have to admit that I cannot realistically afford to pay the entirety of my past due account. I fear that if I begin to make further payments but fail to pay the entire past due account, then I would be left homeless and still in debt; I would be worse off than if I had simply saved those payments. This is my largest fear because I would be subject to debt collection while having a substantially increased risk of homelessness.…

    National Student loan debt is a huge issue for many Americans today. If I’ve learned anything in the past four years, it’s to start early. Starting early can mean many things and in many ways can help you be ready for the cost of a college degree. First and foremost, when I say start early I mean in terms of education; setting yourself up to receive grants and scholarships because over time it all adds up. It wasn’t until my senior year of High that I truly understood how important it was to work towards a high GPA and really get yourself involved in the community.…

    Student Debt In America

    Nearly 69% of families in the United States decided on what university to go based on how much it costs to attend (Adams). One way is by getting many scholarships by applying to the ones being offered by the university and using different scholarship searching sites to get outside scholarships. Others decide not to live on campus and continue to live in their home so that they can save money by not having to pay the dormitory fees (Adams). Many other students try going to a community college so that they can gain college credits and then transfer to a university as a junior and only have to pay for two years of it instead of the full four years. Another decision that some students take to save money for university is getting a job and then going to school after a couple of years of working.…
