Money Talks: Student Loans 2022
According to the Mississippi State Treasurer’s office, the average Mississippi student graduates college with $30,000 worth of debt. Also, 30% of these graduates are reporting delaying major life milestones (getting married, buying a house or car, and even having kids!) We'll discuss and answer questions about student loans.

Subsidized and unsubsidized loans
Private and government loans
Private education loans are not eligible for consolidation, but for some Direct Consolidation Loan repayment plans, the total amount of your education loan debt—including any private education loans—determines how long you have to repay your Direct Consolidation Loan.
Direct PLUS Loans received by parents to help pay for a dependent student’s education cannot be consolidated together with federal student loans that the student received. https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/consolidation
Questions:
- Retired and paying student loans
- Private loans
- Loan not reported on credit report
