See What Income-Based Repayment Can Do For You

Are you struggling to keep up with your federal student loan payments? If so, a provision of the 2007 College Cost Reduction And Access Act, known as IBR (Income-Based Repayment), may be just what you've been searching for.

Although the law was passed in 2007, it actually took effect on July 1st of 2009 and is available to anyone with an eligible federal student loan. IBR essentially allows qualified borrowers to restructure student loan payments based on a formula that takes into account two major variables—level of income and the number of family members in their household.

Think twice before getting a cash advance.

If you are in a lot of debt, a cash advance or payday loan can seem incredibly helpful. With a cash advance, you get cash almost immediately. These loans are easy to get approved for, and you can pay off the debt you need. However, be careful before getting one. These small, short term loans are useful if you are in a financial bind. But if there is no financial emergency, definitely think twice before getting a cash advance!

Can you explain how cash advances work, and should I ever apply for one if my cash situation gets especially tight? Thanks in advance. - Chris from Austin, TX
