Student loans are a hot topic nowadays, which everyone wondering the same thing: How are current college students or recent college graduates going to repay these loans? Education is still a wise investment to make, and repaying back these debts are very doable.

Here are some ways to help you manage your student loans and keep them from overwhelming you:

  1. Add a little to your monthly payment

If and when you can afford it, add RM10-20 to each monthly debt payment you make. This amount will be applied directly to your principal amount, opposing to pay off some of your interest. This is creates a small avalanche effect of its own, since reducing the principal amount will also reduces the interest accumulated.

  1. Get a part time job

If you are already employed full time, and your debts are still overwhelming, there may be some part time jobs out there that could help to ease that burden. The side-hustle economy is booming, and there are hundreds of jobs out there that could be done on your own time and at your own speed.

  1. Cut out wasteful spending

Make your coffee at home instead of buying a morning cup of coffee every day on your way to work. At the end of each month, calculate the money you didn’t spend on daily coffees (or other similar luxuries) and consider adding that amount to your student loan payment that month.

  1. Apply the ‘avalanche’method

If you have several loans, make the largest payment to the one with the highest interest rate every month, paying it down in a shorter period of time. When this is paid off, move to the next highest interest rate, then the next, and so on.

  1. Refinance through a different lender

If all you want is to simply reduce the monthly payment of your student loan, try refinancing through a different lender. New loans generally get lower interest rates, so take advantages of this.

  1. Bump your payments incrementally

During the first year of student loan repayment, you might unable to repay more than the bare minimum due, and that’s fine. However, if you get a raise, and you can afford it, use the raise to bump up your payment a small amount. Do this every year and before you know it, you will cut months or even years of repayment off your loan.
