If you have student loan debt and have been thinking about refinancing, this may be a good time.

The Federal Reserve’s attempts to protect the economy during the coronavirus pandemic have pushed average rates for qualified borrowers refinancing student loans to new lows this summer.

According to an analysis of more than 17,000 student loan refinancings facilitated by the Credible marketplace over the last four years, during June:

• Rates on 10-year fixed-rate loans averaged 4.48%, down 26% from a July 2018 peak of 6.05%
• Rates on 5-year variable-rate loans averaged 2.95%, down 37% from a September 2018 high of 4.68%.

We estimate that a borrower repaying the average graduate school debt of $84,300 over 10 years at 6.22% interest — the average student loan interest rate for grad school loans in recent years — could save: 

• $22,656 by refinancing into a 5-year variable-rate loan
• $8,686 by refinancing into a 10-year fixed-rate loan

Those are huge savings! But it’s worth highlighting the phrase “qualified borrowers”. Meaning, not everyone would qualify for the lower rates. With having a son set for his first year semester of college as a freshman in the fall, I’ve been trying to get as much info as I can on the best student loans and rates.

June is always a busy month for my family. We have my youngest son’s birthday, my oldest son’s birthday, my niece’s birthday, father’s day, my brother-in-law’s birthday, and this year it’s been especially busy.

On top of all the normal stuff my oldest son also graduated high school. With the COVID-19 isolation, they initially had a social distancing graduation which actually ended up being really nice. But now they’ve decided to go ahead and do a traditional graduation and prom too!

To top that off we’re leaving for vacation the end of this week and I’m trying to get ready for that. I’m not gonna hide it, I was actually appreciative of the break for a couple months. It was nice to not have to figure out how to get 4 kids to 4 different places for jobs, sports, practices, school events, etc. I’m not grateful for the reason it happened but I guess I just tried to pull some of the positives out of it.

Because of that break I was also able to take advantage of an opportunity. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram then you know I also lover entering sweepstakes. I actually won 2 months with a personal trainer and nutrition plan from ForeverFitnessF2.com My schedule wasn’t so crazy so I could be more flexible with my times. The owner Dwayne is a good guy and very passionate about what he does and his business.

Being a small business they’re struggling right now since they couldn’t have clients at the gym but he has adapted and adjusted to create virtual classes, private and group training sessions, and more online. I highly recommend ForeverFitnessF2.com if you looking to get into shape. I’ve lost 5 lbs and 2 inches around my belly in 6 weeks. It might now seem like much but when you consider I’ve been trying since September to lose some weight and had only lost 10 lbs in 8 months, I’ll take it!

I love the Cardiokickboxing classes on Thursdays. So much fun and the instructor Amy is so fun and full of energy. They also offer classes like Dancefit, yoga, HIIT training, Bootcamp (which I take on Tuesdays) and more. You can sign up for a single class or buy a monthly or yearly package. Check out the ForeverFitnessF2 class schedule to see dates and times for classes. I’d love it if you joined me! Even with my busy schedule, working outside the house still (I’m a healthcare worker) and 4 kids I can always find a time that works for me. Single classes are only $3 or you can get unlimited monthly classes for $40, or yearly plans that make it only $25/mo for unlimited classes!

Check out their online shop too for adjustable dumbbells, yoga supplies, resistance bands, and lots more.

I’m doing this post as a thank you for what they’ve done for me and the opportunity they gave me. I just want to do my little part to try and give back and help small business in these hard times.

GIVEAWAY
