My husband is getting ready to graduate with both subsidized and unsubsidized loans. The unsubsidized ones are killing us. I can't believe that is to be the only option for grad students now.

I think this will be difficult for students. However, I think IBR (Income Based Repayment) takes the sting out of it. Yes, the student loans will be high, but IBR allows people to save for house or pay off other loans.

Money Beagle - My employer is picking up the tab... I'm self employed ;)

MissGina - Beans and rice feature heavily in my plan too. Good thing I like them. We buy like five types of beans on a regular basis.

Barbara Friedberg - Tuition benefits are something a lot of people forget about since they are only open to a small group. Powerful benefit though!

Financial Samurai - Haven't revealed the school. I feel like it'll make me a bit too identifiable. 80-90% fewer people to hide among. But maybe I could narrow the list from the current seven to just three? Have to think about it...

101 Centavos - Thanks!

Best of luck to you for next year, NDM. It will be a whole new budget battle, maybe with some new players.

I wish you a lot of luck with this one. I was very lucky as hubby worked for a major state university and the education benefit paid for 75% of the tuition. Good luck.

Wow, I can't believe they are cutting subsidized loans for Grad students! I've got 6 more classes and thankfully I'm getting some reimbursed from the job and eating beans and rice in order to pay for the rest!

I didn't know they were cutting subsidized loans. When I was in college I had no idea what they even were, but was pleasantly surprised at the exit interview when I found out that all of my loans had been subsidized.

Yah let's cut funding to the very people who will probably leading an economic recovery and give it to people to get B.A.s with (and I even have a B.A!) that makes a lot of sense in the long term.

When I got my MBA about ten years ago, I was lucky in that my employer picked up a good chunk of it and I was able to kick in the rest from savings.
