Student Loan Repayment Strategies: Standard, SAVE & Accelerated Payoff
Navigating student loan debt requires balancing standard 10-year repayment schedules against federal income-driven repayment (IDR) plans like the SAVE plan, Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), and aggressive private loan refinancing.
Avalanche vs. Snowball Debt Elimination Methods
Borrowers with multiple student loan disbursements should adopt a structured repayment strategy:
Debt Avalanche: Direct all extra principal prepayments to the loan with the highest nominal interest rate (e.g., 8.5% Graduate PLUS loan). Mathematically saves the most money.
Debt Snowball: Direct extra payments toward the smallest dollar balance loan first. Delivers rapid psychological wins as individual accounts are closed.
