Pay off student
loans faster
1. Automate your monthly payments if your
lender off ers discounts or interest rate
deductions for doing so.
2. Leverage today's interest rates by
refi nancing your loan at a lower rate.
3. Make biweekly payments to reduce your
outstanding principal amount faster.
4. Pretend you didn't get that raise and
apply the additional income to your loan.

or the Additional Child Tax Credit. However, most refunds will
still be issued within the normal timeframe — 21 days or less.
