Student Loans Just Changed... Here’s How to Pay Them Off Faster (This Year!) | Master Money Video

In this episode of The Personal Finance Podcast, we break down the massive student loan changes hitting in 2025—why SAVE, PAYE, IBR, and ICR plans are being eliminated for new borrowers starting July 2026, how interest resuming on SAVE loans means balances could grow again, and why wage garnishment restarts in August 2025. We provide a 12-step action plan to pay off loans faster, including the biweekly payment hack that saves $1,000+ in interest, scripts to negotiate lower rates, and how to get $5,250 per year in tax-free employer loan assistance before these changes make escape even harder.
