TheLiveBigWay® Digest: Debts and Dates

It’s back-to-school season and while we’re wishing current students a smooth start to the new school year, we’re also thinking about student loan borrowers who, after a three year payment pause, will be expected to resume their loan payments starting October 1. Additionally, there are new updates from the Biden administration to income-driven repayment plans and eligibility for forgiveness. Read on for current updates…

Spending time and making memories with our Clients and the Yeske Buie community is at the heart of what matters to us, and we’re excited to share four save the date announcements for in-person and virtual events through the end of the year. We’ll share more details about each of these events in upcoming editions of the Digest, and for now, we’d be honored if you would save these dates in your calendar!

Those who have student loans – or any type of loans – are likely familiar with the term annual percentage rate (or APR). The annual percentage rate represents the cost you pay per year to borrow money including interest rates and additional fees. Knowing the APR for your credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, and student loans can give you a good idea of how much you’ll pay to take out a loan and empower you to make grounded financial decisions.
