Student Loans - One of the future consequences of borrowing too much debt or getting too many Student loans is becoming over extended. Credit can be very easy to get which could also lead to you taking on more debt than your income. Even in the case of student loans, you can still take on more than you actually need and end up paying a ton of interest.
The first part of my goal to repay my student loans required that I look for potential firms that offered student loan forgiveness once I graduated. There are certain fields like education that offer loan forgiveness in exchange for a commitment of services. In the financial services their exist the same benefits plan for those with a special area of expertise. The second part of my plan was to simply double up on my payments. I planned to pay off my loans in record time because I have already experienced what can happen if you allow them to linger.
If You Sit Out A Semester, Get Ready To Pay Your Loans.
I have firsthand experience with the entire student loan cycle. I originally registered for college, but dropped after about 6 semesters. I wasn't really serious about college at that stage in my life, therefore I did not hesitate to drop out. Once I drop out of college, 3-6 months later the lenders came knocking looking for their money with interest. I paid the interest for a while but later I fail into default.
Default is a hole that you never want to be in; it truly lives up to its name. When I went into default the Government started garnishing my checks. During Hurricane Katrina I could not qualify for SBA Emergency Funding for my business because I was in default. All of the loans appeared on my credit report as DEFAULT, which dropped my credit score to 478. Worst of all I could no longer get student loans or grants because I was still in default, which meant that I had to cover all of my own expenses up front.
Thank God For President Obama, who signed into law the Public Forgiveness which allowed me to consolidate all of my student loans and continue my education. I am so appreciative now for the opportunity extended to me that I put forward my best effort even when I am tired. My credit rating improved instantly because the status on all the loans was changed to current. If I stay in school I will not have to start repayment until 6 months after I graduate. Stay out of Default by all means necessary, even if it means getting your PHD to delay re- payment
Student Credit Cards
The only major benefit of having a credit card is shopping. Not only shopping for everyday items, but also shopping for specialty items like rental cars and plane tickets. We will always have a love hate relationship with our credit cards; there is simply no way of getting around it. The convenience of being able to receive items before you actually pay for it is a system that has been around for years, but the credit card companies were brilliant in creating their own commerce system. Simply check the tag lines of the three major credit card companies and you will see how we have gradually become more and more addicted to the service that they provide.
* Visa "It's everywhere you want to be"
* American Express "Don't leave home without it"
* MasterCard "Priceless"
With the growing presence of the internet and e-commerce sites like Amazon and Wal-Mart, the only way to make purchases on these sites is to use a credit card. Having a credit card is almost essential being that there is not much you can transact without one, if you want instant gratification. At the end of the month simply brace yourself for the retribution known as a credit card statement in the mail, which represents the hate part of our relationship with credit cards.
I now feel that credit cards are the Root of All Evil, or even worse than the Great Tempter. The picture from the Garden of Eden that showed Eve offering Adam an apple should now be updated to depict Eve offering Adam a Sears Credit Card. My wife just had to have a Sears Credit card like it was a Right of passage, I'm not sure why, but she really wanted one. Shopping with a Sears Credit Card is the equivalent of borrowing money from a drug dealer, miss one payment and something really bad will happen to you.
I now pay for everything with the Wal-Mart Money Card, which actually saves me from myself. The best part about the Wal-Mart Card is once you have spent all of your money on the card, it shuts down. No over draft fees, no checks to balance, there is absolutely no way I can screw up my account. Shopping with the Wal-Mart Card is like being at Chuck E Cheese when you have just spent all of your tokens, time to go home. Credit cards taught me a very painful lesson in personal finance, convenient money is not always the best money.

A College Financial Aid Model for Private K–12 Students
A College Financial Aid Model for Private K–12 Students
One of President Bush’s education initiatives that would model private K–12 financing on a popular federal college financial aid program has sparked renewed debate about school vouchers and federal funding for private education.?
Pell Grants for Kids, a proposed $300 million federal funding program for private K–12 education, would provide government-backed grants to low-income families to help them send their children to private, faith-based, or higher performing out-of-district public schools. The program’s philosophy is based on the notion that, like a college education, elementary and secondary education is best served when based on choice.
President Bush used his final State of the Union address at the end of January to call for congressional support of the Pell Grants for Kids initiative. The presidential behest drew immediate challenges from educators and politicians about the potential effectiveness of the program in the president’s push to privatize education.
Lawmakers questioned whether the Pell Grants for Kids program actually implements school vouchers rather than grants and whether the proposed $300 million budget would be enough for participating low-income parents to avoid having to seek supplemental or other financial aid that resembles college loans.
Pell Grants for Kids vs. College Pell Grants: Considerations Besides Financial Need
The Pell Grants for Kids program follows in the shoes of its college sibling by providing education funding that, unlike other forms of federal financial aid, such as parent or student loans, doesn’t need to be repaid.
Both programs also target low-income students in situations of extreme financial need.
Pell Grants for Kids awards, however, would differ from postsecondary Pell Grants by going beyond financial need to also consider a student’s educational environment in determining eligibility:
Students from schools that fail to meet the performance requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act are the primary targets of the Pell Grants for Kids program.
Pell Grants for Kids would be aimed at eligible low-income students enrolled in high schools with graduation rates less than 60 percent or in elementary and secondary schools that have failed to meet No Child Left Behind performance standards for five years.
School Vouchers Masquerading as Grants?
Although the administration has gone to great lengths to brand Pell Grants for Kids a “scholarship program,” even taking the name of the long-running federal college Pell Grant program, the bipartisan support behind college Pell Grants has been noticeably lacking from the president’s Pell Grants for Kids proposal.
Many Democrats claim Pell Grants for Kids aren’t simply scholarships but school vouchers being pitched to the public as grants.
Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts has come out aggressively against the president’s proposal. Sen. Kennedy, who chairs the Health, Education, and Labor committee, criticizes the Pell Grants for Kids initiative for failing to “expand educational opportunity,” contrary to its proffered goal.
Instead, says Sen. Kennedy, Pell Grants for Kids will “siphon scare resources from our public schools to create new voucher programs.”
On the other side of the aisle, Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee doesn’t argue against the characterization of Pell Grants for Kids as a voucher program but rather maintains that vouchers do work.
Sen. Alexander points to highly successful federal voucher programs — including college Pell Grants, federal student loans, the GI Bill, and daycare certificates — as examples of why he believes in the success potential of Pell Grants for Kids.
In fact, Sen. Alexander has proposed a Pell Grants for Kids budget of $15 billion — a budget 50 times higher than the president’s proposed $300 million.
Tuition Outstrips Federal Aid: The Math Behind Pell Grants for Kids
In either scenario, whether an approved budget for Pell Grants for Kids were to be the president’s proposed $300 million or Sen. Alexander’s $15 billion, individual grant awards would likely not be enough to cover the full cost of K–12 private school tuition.
Here are a few numbers to consider:
$20. The Pell Grant amount each of the country’s 15 million low-income children enrolled in public schools would receive under the president’s proposed $300 million budget.
$500. The Pell Grant amount each of the country’s 30 million low- and middle-income children enrolled in public schools would receive under Sen. Alexander’s proposed $15 billion budget.
$4,689. The average annual cost of tuition at private K–12 schools nationwide, according to a 2006 report by the National Center for Education Statistics.
120,000. The number of children under President Bush’s plan who would receive a $2,500 Pell Grant — less than 1 percent of the total number of low-income children currently enrolled in public schools.
6,000,000. The number of children under Sen. Alexander’s plan who would receive a $2,500 Pell Grant — 20 percent of the total number of low- and middle-income children currently enrolled in public schools.
Whether Pell Grants for Kids should actually be regarded as vouchers rather than as scholarships akin to college Pell Grants, it seems that the K–12 Pell Grants for Kids will still share with college Pell Grants an award amount that, in most cases, can’t cover tuition costs: College Pell Grants are capped at $4,310 for the 2007–08 academic year, while in-state tuition and fees at four-year public colleges averaged $6,185 for 2007–08.
Private Loans for K–12 Programs
In the same way that students with college Pell Grants must often supplement their grant award with work-study and federal student loans, the low-and middle-income families who would qualify for a Pell Grant for Kids may need to turn to other financial aid options to help meet the full cost of private K–12 tuition.
Parents of elementary and high-school students in private programs can generally apply for credit-based K–12 similar to the private student loans available to undergraduate and graduate students.
However, college and graduate students are encouraged to seek out federal < and graduate student loans before turning to private student loans, which are typically not as low-cost as federal loans. There are currently no such federal K–12 parent or student loans available as a low-cost alternative to K–12 private loans for families needing to supplement the money they would receive through the Pell Grants for Kids program.

Those who issue the card may utilize different ways to make the student go for their card that includes lower or zero interest rate for a certain period after acquiring the card. Low or zero might be that attractive, but getting cards that offer the best interest rate during the starting period may give you substantial savings in the long run.
Sometimes there are opportunities to get a card at a kiosk at school or during special events offered by certain companies that are new to you however there might be surprises ahead after dealing with them. Much better if you apply for a card in a bank where you hold an account with. The bank has already the details regarding your financial responsibility.

However, if the card limit is too high, it might lure you to spend impulsively and put you at risk of having difficulty of paying back.
Because of its convenience, you may use your card regularly. In this case, a card that has reward programs can provide you benefits by garnering points from your purchases or it might be a plane ticket purchase to visit home.
You may have at least five credit cards like the usual college students do. Owning this many cards can put you at risk for a bad credit report and can lure you to spend money that you do not have. Do not resort to this kind of practice to avoid being buried in debt later on.
There are cards that impose annual fees which you are required to pay every year. If you do not have any credit you should be able to qualify with another card without this useless cost.
There are several cards that provide plus programs intended for college students. Rewards are given for prompt payers or for students having good grades. You can take advantage of these offers which may give you more points on your purchases with less usage of the card.
