Investment in your future- Prevent it from turning into Bad Debt

How Student Loans Become Bad Debt

Failing to keep this simple equation in mind is how student loans quickly become bad debt.  Remember, a student loan is a mortgage on your future earnings . When you buy a house, the collateral for the loan is the house. When you buy a car, the collateral for the loan is the car. If you don’t repay these loans, the lender simply takes the house or car. But when you borrow with student loans, the collateral is your future earnings. If you don’t repay your student loans, the government will garnish your future earnings.

That being said it is very important we think into the future, when you will be paying back these loans. That’s right, voluntarily rather than them forcing you to pay the loans back. By setting up your student loans early on a biweekly payment plan that will allow an extra payment a year to go directly to the principle you can have your student loan paid off even earlier and eliminate some of the interest the bank would get back from you. Looking at the example below will show you how using the Biweekly Program that Nationwide Biweekly Administration offers could assist in the payoff.

Educate your kids financially

 

You can never teach your children about money too soon!

You may have noticed, children may act as money grows on trees! Kids may be aware that you go to the bank to get money, but rarely they know how the money gets there. This is the perfect opportunity to teach your kids that you have to work hard to earn the money that you spend. Once they understand this concept they may become aware of the hard work you put in to earn a living.

Once they learn, they will apply

After your kids learn about money, how its earned, and the things it can buy; you might notice they will save every penny they can get their hands on.  As a parent it is your responsibility to channel the attitude to teach them to save and learn delayed gratification.

-Planting the seeds early will help bear fruit later

Educate your children from a young age on how money is earned and how it works. By doing this you can avoid trying to teach them as teenagers, when they are less likely to heed any kind of advice you give.

Allowance can be an effective teaching tool

Giving your kids a small amount of money at a young age will prep them for the larger future numbers to come.


The teaching game changes with Teenagers and College-age kids

By the time the kids reach this age group they will most likely have bigger responsibilities such as: Checking accounts, Credit Cards, and other debt. Teaching the kids about banking and credit while in high school will set them on the path of success when they venture out on there own. High School, a lot of times, will off classes covering banking, financing, and the market. Teach your children to take advantage of these resources.
