    We've Helped 20,000 Borrowers. Here's How We'd Fix Student Loans

    We’ve helped over 20,000 borrowers manage more than $2.7 billion in student loans and assets—and we’re not politicians or lobbyists. We’re real experts who’ve seen the good, the bad, and the absurd. In this episode, two of our FitBUX experts break down what we believe is the real solution to the student loan crisis. We talk through the root of the problem, the blind spots most people (and policymakers) overlook, and the practical fixes that would actually help borrowers—not confuse them more. Whether you're a student, a recent grad, or already in repayment, this discussion will open your eyes to the truth behind the chaos—and what can be done about it. 🎧 Watch now to hear: Why forgiveness programs are only part of the puzzle What we’d change about loan servicing, IDR, and PSLF The economic and behavioral traps no one talks about How technology and education can actually solve this

    NEW Student Loan Plan: Payments, $50 Cap, Interest Forgiveness & MPN Lawsuit Threats Explained

    🚨 This isn’t final yet—but it could change everything. Congress is proposing a brand-new student loan repayment plan called IBR RAP—and it’s not just a tweak. We're talking about interest forgiveness, a $50 cap on principal reduction, and a repayment structure that flips everything we’ve known about IDR plans. In this LIVE from YouTube, we’ll walk through: ✅ What the proposal actually says (not the headlines) ✅ Real payment examples: $10, $50, $400, and what gets forgiven ✅ Whether this is better or worse than SAVE, PAYE, or IBR ✅ What this means for your loan balance, forgiveness timeline, and financial plan ✅ Why some borrowers are already saying this violates their Master Promissory Note—and could lead to lawsuits ⚠️ If you’ve ever been told you’re locked into PAYE or New IBR, this plan could force you off those repayment options—no grandfathering. That’s where the legal firestorm begins. 🎯 Whether you’re paying off loans or hoping for forgiveness, this could impact your entire financial strategy. 💬 Drop your questions in the chat—this is your chance to get clarity before anything becomes law. 📌 FitBUX has helped 20,000+ borrowers manage over $2.9 billion in student loans and assets. We’re here to simplify the chaos and help you make confident decisions.

    House Committee Releases Student Loan Proposal - What Does It Include?

    The house education and workforce committee rolled out its plan for higher education and student loans today. It has a LONG way to become law but I've seen people freaking out all over social media about it... which is ironic because there is a lot of good stuff in it that in my opinion is way better than the current plans. I usually don't do any content on this type of stuff until it becomes law. However, because of the mass hysteria I've seen today, I'm going to jump on a live in about 5 minutes. I'll be discussing what is in it, what is good, what is bad, and WHO IT WILL APPLY TO... Need financial help? Be sure to become a member at https://www.fitbux.com
