If you are going to college currently or you have graduated, most likely you have accumulated some student loan debt. According to the Institute for College Access & Success in 2012, 45% of American households are struggling to repay $1.2 trillion in student loan debt. That is a 500% increase over student debt over the past decade! I know my husband and I have had our share our student loan debt between the two of us and honestly it was just another bill to pay. No one ever talked to us or gave us information on managing the debt or how to pay it off more efficiently, we were on our own. We were part of the one million, or around 71% of students who graduated from a four-year college that was left with debt.
Liberty Bank for Savings wants to help those struggling with student loan debt by hosting a free webinar to help people learn to reduce their student debt. The webinar, Wipe Out Student Loan Debt, will be conducted by Laura La Belle, a certified financial planner and money coach, and she will be available free of charge via laptop or smartphone. She is going to cover the latest programs, options and specific steps to eliminate student loan debt.
The free webinar is going to run about 45 minutes and will include time for questions and answers. It is designed for college grads in the broader Chicago area who want to reduce their loan obligations.
The topics being covered are:
While Liberty Bank for Savings does not offer college or commercial loans, they do provide free money management seminars as a community service. They even feature the Pay Yourself First program which is a free, easy-to-use automatic savings tool that helps neighbors achieve their financial goals.
Liberty Bank for Savings is sponsoring a free webinar designed to help people reduce student loan debt Wednesday, April 22, at 7 p.m. To register, visit www.libertybank.com.

Very informative to decreasing student loan debt. Is Liberty Bank the only baking institution that is helping those dealing with this issue? If so, that should reflect on those that don't care about their consumers.
