   April 16, 2012

According to a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau report, the amount currently owed on both federal and private student loans has broken the trillion dollar mark—outpacing the amounts Americans owe on credit cards and auto loans.

Are you struggling with student loan debt? Are you trying to decide if it’s a good idea to take out loans in order to attain a higher education? Are you wondering how long it’ll take to pay for that law degree working as a waitress?

If so, we’d like to speak with you. Please call the Independent News at (850)438-8115.
