What's the best way to get rid of college loan debt?


Question:
My husband and I both have a large sum to pay off on our college loans and we are having to pay the miniumum at the current time b/c we are paying a high mortgage payment. Is there any creative ways to make money to start paying and saving more $?

Answer:
I refinanced my house, added the college loan to it, and extended the years of the loan.

Why? 1. Lower interest rate on home loan. 2. interest on home loan is tax deductible 3. colsolidation of loans meant less money paid out monthly
Unfortunately nothing easy.

Just the obvious like take a 2nd job, tighten your belts around the house, etc.
reconsollidate, and pay
get a job and pay it off
Sell your house and use the leftover proceeds to pay the other bills off.Then move into a apartment for a few years,with no other debt hanging over you it will be easy to save up some money for another downpayment for a more affordable house.
Start a part time at home job like myself! Blogs are actually highly profitable if done right.
The problem with your question is that it doesn't have enough information for anyone even with any expertise to help you. We know nothing about you, your abilities, your income, your expenses, your training, the hours you work, what your interests are, and on and on. So you ask a question of complete strangers hoping for a magic bullet. There isn't any. You need to find a financial counselor of repute and lay everything out for him or her. Then listen closely and follow the advice you're given.

Living beyond your means. Sounds to me you are a victim of the big housing boom. When mortgage company's qualified people when they really could not afford the house.
I can only suggest taking a loan out on you house, at least you can write the interest off.
i found a site that is very interesting...if you think harder, smarter, and do something about the situation you'll never have to worry about money. you must learn how to sell...
you decided to buy a great house and forget to pay your loan instead . Both need to get 2nd jobs and pay the bills off or better yet sell the house and lower your standard of living and live well with in your means and save up for another dream house when you can afford it . Those student loans the government loves house owners cause that is great collateral - so there goes your equity and maybe your house too .
