If you're married and still paying down student loan debt, you might be wondering whether it’s possible for you and your spouse to consolidate your student loans together into one monthly payment.
One of the worst feelings is checking your bank account and realizing there’s not enough money to cover your student loan payment.
If this is something that has happened to you, you should know that there are options other than defaulting on your loan. In fact, there are several options that can even help you lower your monthly payments.

Has your student loan payment suddenly increased and you have no idea why? There are several reasons why the “amount due” portion of your bill might look a bit different than the previous month.

Why does it matter so much?
