Hello everyone. This is Paula and the founder and CEO of Clever Girl Finance and welcome to the Clever Girls No podcast.

I hope that you and your family are well in this season and you are staying safe and also staying home.

So on this episode of the podcast, I wanted to take some time out to talk about the announcements made

regarding the suspension of federal student loan payments.

And I have our student loan expert for Clever Golf Finance

and also the founder of your money worth, Melissa Bhutan,

on this episode with me to go over the key highlights of the

announcements and what you should know as it relates to the suspension. So we

talked about what it means to you, what loans are suspended, what it means when they say that the interest is suspended,

we talk about capitalization and the timelines associated to this notice, we go over what you should know if you are in a loan forgiveness program and more.

And so this is an episode that you definitely want to tune into if you have

federal student loans and we also get into talking about what you can do as it relates

to your private loans as well in this season. And if you don't know who

Melissa is, Melissa has been on the podcast before. She is a part of the

Clever Girl Finance team. She is a certified financial educator and a student loan expert who has paid off her own

student loans and she basically geeked out on figuring out how federal and private student loans

work and she continues to do so and she's also the

creator of the courses on clever girl finance that teach you how to understand the

way you're federal and your private student loans work so if you are trying to understand how those

loan categories work definitely head on over to clevergaufinance.com and if you miss

the announcement all 30 plus courses on the clever Girl Finance website are free right now.

This is our way of supporting all of you in this season,
