Sixty percent of former college students who are currently repaying student loans are concerned their student loan repayments will cause them to work extra jobs to make ends meet, according to a survey commissioned by Discover Student Loans. This year’s survey examined perceptions about repaying student loans and the impact of repayment on finances and lifestyle choices.
Reality sets in for college graduates
Students and parents claim to understand the student loan repayment process
“It’s never too early for families to start discussing how best to finance a college education. It’s important for both students and parents to be on the same page and start thinking about and budgeting for things like student loan payments early on in the process,” said Nicole Straub, vice president for Discover Student Loans. “Discover has many free online resources that provide tips and advice on things families can do at all stages of the college process to help feel more financially prepared.”
Parents’ primary concerns…and sacrifices
Getting a job is top priority
“Graduation brings responsibilities such as finding a job and repaying student loans. As graduates prepare to go out on their own, they should take time to review their personal finances and prepare a monthly budget that will accommodate not only rent, food and having fun but a potential student loan payment,” said Straub.
Discover Student Loans offers tools and resources to help parents and students understand the college financing process. For more information about Discover Student Loans, please visit www.discover.com/student-loans.
