...the interest rate on my VBR student loans has dropped again.
...my monthly payment has dropped 20% in the past 6 months
...no, I am not paying that equivalent amount more in gas/food/etc due to inflation
Screw you guys, I'm goin home.
The fact that I'm paying my loans indicates that I'm not in school anymore, and I do indeed have a "real job". And the fact that I live in a city and get a free bus pass from work helps offset the gas prices a tad. But you're correct, I'm sure the food part would hurt more if I were feeding more than myself (however the 70% raise I got 2 months ago offsets it a tad).Originally posted by: Skoorb

which should signify that the dollar is strengthening (which it's been doing over the last few weeks) and help bring down the price of oil.....hopefully.Originally posted by: Vic
It won't last. Bets are that the Fed will start hiking again before the end of the year.
At this point it'd only be a minor adjustment. Much stronger action in the futures market is needed to bring oil down.Originally posted by: CPA

These are private loans, my federal loan rate is fixed at 6.75% I think. I have 3 private loans, after the rate cuts they are 6%, 8%, and 10%.Originally posted by: Aimster
What is the rate?
Last I checked it was around 7-8%
I'm planning to eventually.Originally posted by: JS80
Consolidate and get fixed rate?
