Andy asked:


I don’t have a well paying job yet, but anticipate having a good job in one year. Should I knock myself out to pay off the loans as soon as possible or make minimum payments every month? I’ve heard 2 different theories about this, one saying pay loans off as soon as possible, the other saying make minimum payments. Help?

Andre asked:


I have 30k in credit card debt. I was wondering if I could consolidate that into a mortgage. I have never applied for a home loan before. Have people done this in the past?

Jenn asked:


My husband and I are trying to straighten out our finances because we have a lot of debt (credit cards mostly) and we want to buy a house. Everyone tells us that getting a a debt consolidation loan will help because we can combine all of our debts into one monthly payment, but we kept getting turned down or offered a low amount because we have too much credit being used. What’s the point of a debt consolidation loan if your too much in debt?

Ubiquitous asked:


I’m paying off a lot of credit card debt and currently have my student loans in a deferral status. But the big monthly payments will start up again at the end of this year.

Aside from trying to “drop off the radar screen” or looking for a much better-paying job that would quickly burn me out, I’m curious if anybody has any leads on this matter.

Thanks!

PS: Don’t recommend declaring bankruptcy because student loan debt is exempt from that.

i have a lot of student loan debt and want to consolidate. however, i’m sure that because it is a private loan they’re going to run my credit. do you know what is the lowest score i can have to consolidate?
I don’t need debt management- my bad credit is the result of the ratio between my income and huge student loans. This totally messes with your credit. I’m working with a law firm to get this under control. I just need to consolidate my loans and while I can wait until my credit improves, I want to start saving money now.
