Objectively, that is a lot to repay. Congratulations for acknowledging that it needs to be repaid quickly.
- Confirm that the refinancing is truly no-fee, that there are no origination fees, closing fees, or similar built into the loan.
- IfGiven 1. is true, you should definitely refinance all the private loans. If there are fees built in, the math becomes a bit more complicated (depending on how fast you will pay them back - 2k estimate is good, but you may pay faster or slower)
- I would recommend refinancing all the federal loans as well - they are still extremely difficult to drop in bankruptcy. You should definitely consider the repayment rate before refinancing - many times there will be a payment elevator built in to account for increased earnings. At 4.8% and 10 years, you need to put ~$2200 monthly towards your payments. If you can afford to put in this amount or more, refinancing makes sense.
- Many companies have a 401kGiven that your company does not match up to 6% of salary - this is free money401k, I would recommend paying off your student debt as quickly as possible. You could putcan think of the money into a government bond, earn 3%, and still earndebt payments as a 106% returnguaranteed 4. If your company offers this8% return, you should definitely take advantage of thisvs an uncertain stock market.
