How the economy impacts what rates you get on student loan refinancing

Student loan refinancing can be a big help to your financial goals.

But some refi strategies can make it so you can’t buy a house or start a business.

In this episode, I’ll talk about when a refi makes sense for you and discuss how the economy, a recession, and changing interest rates factor into your decision.

In today’s episode, you'll find out:

  • What is a refi ladder and can it work for you
  • How doing more than one refi can be a smart move
  • The reason to refi to a longer term at a higher interest rate
  • Why you shouldn’t worry about your credit score when you refinance
  • The risk of going with an aggressive repayment strategy
  • How your student loans can impact buying a house or starting a business
  • How government interest impacts the interest you pay
  • What would happen to student loan interest rates in a recession
  • When variable rates are a smart move in your refi strategy
