Hi, I graduate med school in 1 month.
I have no idea what to do with my student loans - what length term? which ones should I consolidate? My salary will be about 54,000 next year but I will be living in NYC with a monthly rent of about $1600.
I have a total of $90,659 in stafford (unsubsidized and subsidized) and $60,405 in medloans.
The private loans (9) all have variable interest rates (now 6%, except one loan at 7%
The stafford loans are a combination of variable and fixed interest rate loans between 3.875% for one to two others at 8.5% and the rest between 6.62 and 6.8%. (I have 7 total stafford and FFEL grad plus loans)
1. what should I consolidate? (if any)
2. which loans are elgible for economic hardship deferrment?
3. what can I afford to pay on a monthly basis for loans / what type of payment plan should I choose?
Thanks for your help! I really have no idea what I'm doing with the financial stuff.
