1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: What's up is Way with Angela Yee. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 2: I'm Angela Yee on a Wealth Wednesday, joined by my 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 2: partners Stacy Tisdale. 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 3: Happy Wealth Wednesday's everybody. We are so excited and we 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 3: have some amazing information for you because of something that 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 3: happened recently. Everybody out there with student loans knows that 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 3: on July first, the government raised the federal student loan 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 3: rate to six point five to three percent from five 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 3: point five percent. That's the highest level in a decade 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 3: and this hurts a lot because Americans owe one point 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 3: seventy five trillion dollars in student loan debt. The average 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 3: person has about twenty eight, nine hundred and fifty dollars 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 3: in student loan debt, but Brown people have fifty two 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: thousand dollars worth of student loan debt. So we are 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 3: very It was an SOS kind of call to the 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 3: money coach Lynette Califani Cox, who is just one of 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: the greatest financial experts out there. She is the author 18 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 3: of Zero Debt for College Grads, New York Times bestseller, 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: been on more than a thousand TV shows, including Oprah Today, 20 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 3: Good Morning America, Way Up with Angela Ye, Way up 21 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 3: with Angelaye many times. You were here with us in 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 3: March when the pause, that three year pause on student 23 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: loan repayments was lifted. So what the heck's with these rates? 24 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 4: Well, like you said, it's not good news at off 25 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 4: anybody who is deep in debt when it comes to 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 4: student loans, and it's really going to amount to people 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 4: paying thousand dollars more for higher education over the loan 28 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 4: repayment period. You mentioned, we're up to one point seven 29 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 4: trillion dollars or so in student loans, and we have 30 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 4: about forty three million Americans who have college debt. And 31 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 4: a lot of times people think that, you know, this 32 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 4: is just a millennial or maybe even a fifty problem, 33 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 4: but we know that that's not correct. We know that 34 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 4: gen xers, you know, like myself, at student loans, I 35 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 4: don't personally the send people in my age category who 36 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 4: are forty something and or fifty something. We know that 37 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 4: a lot of Baby boomers have student loans, and even 38 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 4: a lot of members of the Silent generation. So this 39 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 4: pike that we're seeing interest rates for federal student loans 40 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 4: up to six point five to three percent, yeah, it's 41 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 4: going to have long lasting ramification. 42 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: You know, I compare this also to even if you're 43 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: looking at mortgage rates and interest rates on that you 44 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: know that one percent, a little more than one percent 45 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: makes a huge difference when it comes to how much 46 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: you end up paying. 47 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 4: It really does, especially over decades of time. And the 48 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 4: reason I was saying before that people mistakenly think that 49 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 4: it's just a young person's problem is that it takes 50 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 4: the focus off of how long it is that people 51 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 4: really do wind up with student loans. And on average, 52 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 4: it takes people like twenty twenty plus years to repay 53 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 4: their college debt, and as Stacey met in a few 54 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: moments ago, for people of color, it takes even longer, 55 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 4: given that historically we have lower overall incomes to begin with, 56 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 4: less discretion in the income, and then we have more 57 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 4: debt that we wrack up because again, historically, our families 58 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 4: haven't had the adequate resources to be able to pay 59 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: for tishee, room and board, books and supply to you know, 60 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 4: put those bills out of pockets, and so we wind 61 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 4: up with more student debt to begin with, and then 62 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: we take longer to pay it off. 63 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: Speaking of taking longer to pay it off, this has 64 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: never happened before. How people are responding to this? So, 65 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 3: as we've mentioned, the freeze on student loan payments that 66 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: came from the pandemic was lifted in March, but only 67 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: half of people have started repaying their loans. There's twenty, 68 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: like nineteen million people have just not done it. 69 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're and default of a delinquent. 70 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, why, that's just unprecedented. What do you think is 71 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,559 Speaker 3: happening there? 72 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 4: Well, I know unequivocally what's happening right there, those nineteen 73 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 4: million people. I can't say for every single one, of course, 74 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: but I'm saying by and large, they've not yet fifted 75 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 4: to this new reality where everything that happened pre pandemic 76 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 4: is like a lifetime ago compared to where we are now, 77 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 4: you know, four plus years later. So, before the pandemic hits, 78 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 4: it was one thing to have to deal with rent, groceries, 79 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 4: you know, credit cards, et cetera. But now everything is 80 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 4: so much more expensive. It's not just the student loan 81 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 4: debts that they're grappling with. They're grappling with higher rent 82 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 4: and or mortgage costs, higher debts overall, whether that's you know, 83 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 4: buy now, pay later loans, whether that's credit card debts, 84 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 4: whether that's auto loans. You know, the average credit card 85 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 4: right now is above twenty two percent interest. So when 86 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 4: you look at it, Experience came out with some data 87 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 4: that showed people who have student loans have bigger overall 88 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 4: debts to service. So on average, somebody who has student 89 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 4: loans pays about fifteen hundred dollars a month for all 90 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 4: of their debts and obligations, whereas people who don't have 91 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 4: student loans pay about eleven hundred a month. So even 92 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 4: that four hundred dollars you know, difference is very telling. 93 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 4: So this is part of the reason why those not 94 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 4: eighteen million people haven't been able to get back on 95 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 4: board and to pay those loans. It's because everything else 96 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 4: has gone up and their income has not kept caste 97 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 4: with the rate that we've seen on those student loans 98 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 4: going up. And you were mentioned numbers there, Stacey, about 99 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 4: you know, twenty eight thousand on average. That's correct when 100 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 4: we look at averages for some groups. But again those 101 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 4: numbers are bigger for people of color and for people 102 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 4: in certain age categories. Gen X. Again, my generation happens 103 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 4: to be the category of folks who have the biggest 104 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 4: student loan balance it somewhere around forty four almost forty 105 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 4: five thousand dollars. So this is a real issue that 106 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 4: people are going to have to kind of get acclimated to. 107 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 4: And I'm telling folks that they need to, you know, 108 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 4: get on to student Aid, the the Partment of Education's website, 109 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 4: start looking at their options for repayment, particularly trying to 110 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 4: get into some income based repayment plans. If you are 111 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 4: struggling to make ends meet. 112 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: We definitely want to talk about income based repayments. But 113 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 3: just staying with the impact of these higher rates for 114 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: people not paying President Biden kind of did people a 115 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 3: solid You said, your interest is going to accrue, but 116 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: it's not going to go on your credit report if 117 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 3: until September, if you don't start paying these loans back. 118 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: Talk about the impact of that, and a lot of 119 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: talk about the upcoming election all over the place right now. 120 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 3: Talk to people about the difference in the student loan 121 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: debt situation under a Biden administration versus what's being proposed 122 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 3: by Trump administration. 123 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: Right And I just want to say that's also important 124 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 2: because part of what Biden has been trying to do 125 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: with his administration is to get rid of student loan debt, 126 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: and that has definitely been pushed back on. Is he's 127 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: done a lot of workarounds, but some people also look 128 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: at it like he didn't keep his promises. So I 129 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: want to make sure that we discussed we like Stacy said, yeah, 130 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: what is really going on when it comes to what 131 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: could happen. 132 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: And what the costed. 133 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: Well, to be honest, I would really push back on 134 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 4: the concept that Biden has not kept his promise with 135 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 4: regard to providing student loan relief. This man been working hard. 136 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 4: I don't know what to try to push through student 137 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 4: loan forgiveness, cancelation, et cetera for tons of borrowers, and 138 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: he has, in fact canceled about one hundred and sixty 139 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 4: seven billion dollars for about four million people. When you 140 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 4: asked about the comparison between what life would be like 141 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 4: for borrowers under a Trump administration versus a Biden administration, well, 142 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 4: we already have the evidence of that. We already know 143 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 4: under Trump, they the entire GOP absolutely tried to restrict 144 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: student loan forgiveness and student loan debt cancelation. And we 145 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 4: remember how for you know, more than a year there 146 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 4: was arguments about whether or not folks should get student 147 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 4: loan forgiveness. When all those people who got PPP loan forgiveness, 148 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 4: they didn't say anything about that, but they put those 149 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 4: you know through for small businesses to you know, offer 150 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 4: relief on that end. So it's very clear that not 151 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 4: only has Biden tried to do loan forgiveness, which got 152 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 4: struck down by and large from the Supreme Court a 153 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 4: year ago. Then the Biden administration said, okay, well, I'm 154 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 4: going to use some other means to provide loan forgiveness, 155 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: and in a nutshell, this is the sixty second version 156 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 4: of it. They used thirty year old mechanisms through income 157 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 4: based repayments. They've been doing income for payments for thirty 158 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: plus years, and most observers, legal scholars, et cetera, said, okay, well, 159 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 4: they actually do have the right to do this because 160 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 4: it's under existing laws. Well, they pushed through this time 161 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 4: called SAVE, which replaced pay and repay. Pay was pay 162 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 4: as you earned, and then repay was revised pay as 163 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 4: you earned. So under the Saved program there's eight million 164 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 4: folks enrolled in the SAVE program. They basically knocked people's 165 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 4: student loan repayments in half. Because they did a lot 166 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: of tweaks to the to the formula, they protected more 167 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: of people's income, saying that if you had if your 168 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 4: income as much as two hundred and twenty five percent 169 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 4: of the federal poverty rates, you didn't have to pay 170 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 4: anything on your student loans. You could pay zero. In 171 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 4: other words, if you're single and you make fifteen dollars 172 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 4: an hour or thirty two thousand per year, your student 173 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 4: loan payments could be zero, and even zero qualifies as 174 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 4: a student loan repayment. So catch this, don't miss this part. 175 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 4: Even with a zero repayment, that counts towards student loan 176 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 4: forgiveness or cancelation. So people who had already been paying 177 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: for ten plus years, many of them received cancelation. Under SAVE, 178 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: they also cut the discretionary income. So under Pay and Repay, 179 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 4: it was percent of your discretionary income had to go 180 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 4: towards student loan repayments. Now, under SAVE, only five percent 181 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 4: of your discretionary income has to go towards student loans. 182 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 4: That's why it's been cut. In final two things, I'll 183 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 4: note and then I got a hop here you mentioned 184 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 4: that interest, interest is very, very important. We had so 185 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 4: many gen Zers and millennials out there, God bless them, 186 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 4: Thank the Lord for them, because they were noting properly. 187 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 4: So that how some people have been paying ten, fifteen, 188 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 4: twenty years and their loan balances have increased. It's because 189 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 4: all of that interest that gets capitalized or added to 190 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 4: people's student loan repayments. Well now under the Safe program, 191 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 4: which again is under attacked by the GOP, in which 192 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: I have no doubt that Trump would also fall in 193 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 4: line and say, yeah, y'all got to pay this back 194 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 4: as well. But under the Saved program, one of the 195 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 4: tweaks that they paid is that they took the interest, 196 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 4: the unpaid interest, and they said it does not accrue 197 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 4: as long as you make a payment, So that includes 198 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 4: the zero payment. So that's why people's loan balances are 199 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 4: now finally starting to actually go down as they should 200 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 4: if you've been making payments. So again I would give 201 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 4: a forceful thumbs up. I'm not pleased with everything that 202 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 4: Biden has done, but on this front, no, he absolutely 203 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 4: has kept his promise and is delivered on the on 204 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 4: the student loan front, he's he's facing tremendous opposition though, 205 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 4: and and over a dozen states led by GOP Republicans 206 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 4: of course, have attacked and now they're trying to come 207 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 4: after the stage plan too, okay, And I. 208 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: Know you have to go. 209 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 2: So where can people go to find out what they 210 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: qualify for?
