College tuition and student debt levels have been rising at an alarming pace for at least two decades. These trends, coupled with an economy weakened by a major recession, have raised serious questions about whether we are headed for a major crisis, with borrowers defaulting on their loans in unprecedented numbers and taxpayers being forced to foot the bill. Game of Loans draws on new evidence to explain why such fears are misplaced–and how the popular myth of a looming crisis has obscured the real problems facing student lending in America.

Bringing needed clarity to an issue that concerns all of us, Beth Akers and Matthew Chingos cut through the sensationalism and misleading rhetoric to make the compelling case that college remains a good investment for most students. They show how, in fact, typical borrowers face affordable debt burdens, and argue that the truly serious cases of financial hardship portrayed in the media are less common than the popular narrative would have us believe. But there are more troubling problems with student loans that don’t receive the same attention. They include high rates of avoidable defaults by students who take on loans but don’t finish college–the riskiest segment of borrowers–and a dysfunctional market where competition among colleges drives tuition costs up instead of down.

Persuasive and compelling, Game of Loans moves beyond the emotionally charged and politicized talk surrounding student debt, and offers a set of sensible policy proposals that can solve the real problems in student lending.

Higher education should not be a business from which many profit while millions go into a lifetime of debt! American higher education is at the point of colossal failure. Thanks to the creation of “Higher Ed Inc.,” we now live in a dysfunctional country with millions of Americans struggling to pay or completely unable to pay their student loan debts. Millions of new students going to college will end up equally in debt, saddled with loans and unable to join the middle class and enjoy the American dream. The student loan debt crisis is no longer a matter that each student or family can solve on their own. We need everyone to put our voices together to push aggressively for change. Read this book and join us if you are among the millions of current student loan debtors, future students and parents about to take out loans, or policymakers and politicians who want to help fix our broken system of higher education.

About 35,000 borrowers will have their student loans forgiven, totaling another $1.2 billion in relief, the Biden administration announced Thursday, the latest round of student loan forgiveness under a program supporting public servants, which was recently updated to eliminate delays.

Listen to Natalie and how she went from sleepless nights because of debt, to debt free.

Many people can yield substantial savings when they look at refinancing to pay off debt.

In this episode of our mortgage financing series, we look at a refinancing to pay off debt review.

It is extremely easy to amass considerable consumer debt and before too long we need to question the decision to look at refinancing in order to pay off debt.

Technically it has more to do with reducing the interest payments you are making and turning the high interest consumer debt in to a lower interest refinancing product with your mortgage.

This refinancing to pay off debt review makes sense on multiple levels. Firstly, our tendency with consumer debt is to make minimum payments only which leads to a situation where we are constantly burdened by high interest rates and debt.

Without a correction, the situation can compound to the point where we may consider a bankruptcy which can be avoided if we consider refinancing to pay of debt.

We hope you enjoy our mortgage financing series and encourage you to watch the refinancing to pay off debt review video to the end.

The debut book publication by the New York Society of Security Analysts, a not-for-profit professional society dedicated to professional excellence and ethics in financial markets, High Yield, Future Tense: Cracking the Code of Speculative Debt presents the outlook for high yield bonds and predicts profound changes in the marketplace. Its four sections contain 18 contributions by 29 experts from finance and academe. PART 1: Market Dynamics Three contributions explore whether a crisis will follow today’s low default rates and narrow yield spreads. Four others examine whether high yield spreads over-compensate for risk, uphold classic criticisms of underwriting practices, analyze market liquidity, and detail leveraged loans’ evolution in a bond-like direction. PART 2: Active Management This section sheds light on non-standard leading indicators of high yield performance; the relationship between high yield and equity returns and distressed debt managers’ response to the current, unusual credit cycle. PART 3: Analytical Innovation Successful high yield investing depends on accurate estimation of risks other than default probability. New methodologies that address them include: systematic scoring of the quality of covenant packages of new issues and a monthly index of covenant quality; solutions to problems in measuring performance, quality, and valuation that may lead to investment errors and quantification of issue-level liquidity, enabling investors to make explicit tradeoffs between spread and liquidity. PART 4: Benchmarking This section’s chapters address intrinsic flaws in market indices. The authors predict further specialization of subindices to accommodate specialized strategies, address challenges of high yield index construction from the portfolio manager’s perspective, and show the advantages of non-market-cap-weighted indices. Contains 168 exhibits, including 111 charts and graphs and 57 tables, plus 31 mathematical formulae.

With South Africans continuing to become an over indebted society, how one begins to dig themselves out of the hole of debt becomes not only a financially important decision, but also one of legal imperative.

The President of the Debt Counsellors Association of South Africa, Paul Slot joined Tim Modise on the show to discuss the process of debt review, how one finds themselves in that position and most importantly, how one gets themselves out of it.
