Yep, you totally can pay off your education loan early, like before it’s due. It’s called “prepaying.” Doing that can save you money on interest and get rid of your debt faster.
To make it happen, just add some extra cash to your regular loan payments. You can do it online, by mail, or in person at the lender’s office. Just make sure you tell your lender it’s an early payment, so they put it in the right place.
But be aware, there might be some restrictions on prepaying, like fees or penalties. So, check your loan agreement or talk to your lender to see what’s up.
If you’re thinking about prepaying, make a budget first. Figure out how much you can afford to pay off each month while handling your other bills. That way, you’ll have a solid plan to kick that loan to the curb ASAP!
