Income is the tool
Outside of inheritance, income is the most valuable wealth building tool most professionals have. How that income is split between lifestyle, debt and long-term goals is the actual planning decision.
Where Student Loans Fit in Your Financial Plan
A repayment strategy that ignores the rest of your finances usually isn't the cheapest one. Loans compete with retirement savings, taxes, insurance and major life purchases for the same income.
Taxes and repayment interact
Filing status, deductions and taxable forgiveness all move the numbers. A repayment plan decided without the tax picture can be more expensive than it looks.
Protecting the plan
Insurance planning matters most when a large debt balance depends on a single income continuing.
One team, one plan
Student loan repayment, wealth accumulation, insurance planning and tax planning are services handled under one team so decisions in one area account for the others.
