Student Loans Can Be Tackled Student loans are complicated and stressful. Common questions I hear from clients are:
Should I refinance my student loans?
Should I consolidate my student loans?
Can I earn Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)? Should I go for PSLF?
How does PAYE, REPAYE, or IBR work? Should I participate in these programs?
How do I get out of debt?
A solid repayment strategy can save you stress, manage financial risk, and reduce the total cost of the loans. Pursuit Planning and Investments, LLC, provides student loan advice packages. With this package, I will work with you to understand:
How student loan debt works
The kind loans you have
The repayment plans available to you
The cost and benefit of your options
Your action plan
I am here to help. Feel free to place a time on my calendar for a commitment-free discovery meeting.
Something About Economics
The spread of covid has caused a surge in American meat prices (The Economist) - The Law of Supply and Demand states that if the availability of an item decreases, and desire for that good stays the same, then its price will increase.

This graphic from The Economist illustrates how much beef prices increased over the past several months. How much has beef prices increased at your grocery store?
