Student Loan Debt Hampering Your Start Up Business Desires?

So, you graduated college, haven't been able to find a job, you have a few ideas to start a business, but at the back of your mind you are probably thinking that there is no way you can make your student loan payments and undergo the uncertainty of a start-up, well consider the income-based repayment (IBR) programs that exist for federal student loans.   Under this program graduates with lower incomes or families are required to make loan repayments on a sliding scale.  See what your repayment amount might be with this IBR calculator.   Learn more about the program here.   Read Sean Greene's piece on Student Start-Up Plans.
