Americans are concerned about student loan debt and how they are going to pay for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“October is coming,” personal finance expert Dave Ramsey warned about the restart of student loan payments on “Fox & Friends,” Thursday. “I’m sorry. It’s hard, but you’re going to have to face this.”<\/p>\n
For more than three years, federal student loan borrowers have not had to make monthly payments. But that pandemic-era pause is coming to an end this fall, setting up a financial shock for millions of Americans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ramsey addressed how borrowers can prepare for the end of the payment pause as they grapple with inflation. \u00a0<\/p>\n
BIDEN STUDENT LOAN CANCELLATION PLAN FOR BORROWERS WHO WERE MISLED BLOCKED BY FEDERAL APPEALS COURT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nHe began by offering advice that his father once shared with him. \u00a0<\/p>\n
“You know, my daddy used to say 90% of solving a problem is realizing there is one,” he said. “Becoming problem aware is a big deal.”<\/p>\n
And despite economic hardships, the payments need to be made, he stressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry. You’ve got to face this,” he stressed. “Children do what feels good. Adults devise a plan and follow it.”<\/p>\n

Noting a “symptom” of constant spending, Ramsey pointed out that Americans are pulling from the 401(K)s to handle expenses in addition to collectively racking up trillions in credit card debt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“All of these things are converging, but they’re really the symptom of people saying, hey, I am going to continue to spend like I always have, but my life has changed.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
He reiterated that people have to “face this reality” or they will “make it worse.”<\/p>\n
“You can’t keep pushing the Amazon Prime button like a monkey on crack and this thing going to not fall apart on you. It’s a problem,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
STUDENT LOAN BORROWERS TOOK ON NEW DEBT DURING PAYMENT PAUSE: REPORT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nThe “Ramsey Show” host then explained how one can cut spending.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We’ve got to address where we are. Sit down and look at exactly what is going on in a detailed budget and say, all right, we’re going to list out these student loans.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also suggested getting on a detailed plan, listing your smallest to largest debts and tackling them in order.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n“The calvary’s not coming. You got to do it for yourself, folks,”Ramsey said. “That’s the only way it works.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
