Welcome To The Student Loan Debt Movement

Student loan debt drives me nuts. Beyond the financial toll it can take on borrowers, getting out of it can be a hard and confusing process. With so many different payment plans, loan forgiveness options, different loan types, it can be really hard to know the best path to get out of student loan debt.

And that doesn't even take into consideration the emotional toll that student loans can have. From depression, to a delay of life events like buying a house or starting a family, student loan debt is a struggle.

But with $1.4 trillion in outstanding student loan debt, it's a problem that's not going away any time soon. For individuals, though, it's a problem that can be conquered. It just takes the right combination of education, inspiration, and action. 

Education - You have to know what repayment plan makes sense. What forgiveness options you might qualify for. And you need to create a path forward.

Inspiration - You need to be motivated to stick to your plan. Hopefully seeing others in the Student Loan Debt Movement will give you some inspiration.

Action - No matter how much you know, and how inspired you feel, nothing will change if you don't take the steps necessary. You can earn bonus entries for our weekly giveaways and surprise bonuses for taking action this month.

That's why I wanted to start a student loan movement. I want to see if we can inspire our readers to pay down, reduce, or eliminate $1,000,000 in student loan debt during the month of March. 

I graduated with $43,000 in student loan debt and was able to eliminate it in about 3 years. I worked full time, side hustled, and focused on my budget to put every extra dollar I could to make those loans disappear.

Over years of helping others here on The College Investor, I've seen countless others get out of student loan debt doing the same thing. Let's see what we can do together this month!
