Taking money advice from a loan servicer is sort of like taking health advice from a tobacco company. The advice might be valid, but there's probably a better source out there for you. Namely, one that doesn't profit from your bad habits.

Even a small student loan can be a big shock when you have to start paying it back. When you're on a budget, it's tough to get used to having to pay a hundred bucks or so every month. To make it easier, start setting aside the money before repayment kicks in.
Dear Lifehacker, I have a question in regard to tax deduction. If I take a Commonwealth supported place in my master degree study and pay my student contribution amount in full up-front, can I claim that as an education expense? It's not the amount I am paying back, it's the upfront student contribution amount. Hope to hear from you ASAP!
