Major student loan changes are set to take effect July 1, bringing updates to borrowing limits, repayment options, and federal aid eligibility.
New rules will limit how much some students and parents can borrow. Parent PLUS loans will be capped at $20,000 per year and $65,000 total per student, while new caps will also apply to graduate and professional degree borrowing.
Repayment options are also changing. New federal loan borrowers will have fewer choices, with options narrowing to a tiered standard repayment structure or a new income-driven option called the Repayment Assistance Program.
Borrowers currently enrolled in SAVE may also need to choose a new repayment option, with loan servicers expected to send notices about next steps.
Pell Grant rules are changing as well, including expanded eligibility for some short-term workforce training programs.
For borrowers and students, the takeaway is simple: watch for communications from loan servicers, confirm contact information is current, and review available options before deadlines arrive.

Did you know? ✈️

Many people spend more time planning a 1-week vacation than they do planning for retirement. 📅💰

Retirement could last 20–30 years or more.
Questions like:
❓ Will I have enough?
❓ When should I take Social Security?
❓ How do I create retirement income?

You don’t have to figure it out alone. 🤝

A financial plan can help bring clarity and confidence for the future.

💰 A paycheck builds income.
📈 A plan builds freedom.

Having money and having a financial plan are not the same thing. Without a strategy, it’s easy for money to disappear into everyday life without moving you closer to the future you truly want.

The goal isn’t just to make money.
It’s to make your money work for you. 🚀

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Their courage, service, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten. We are deeply grateful for those who gave their lives in service to our nation and for the families who carry their legacy forward.

As we spend time with family and friends this weekend, may we also take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day.

😀❤️💖Happy 30th Anniversary to Joe and Stephanie! 😀💗💖

30 years ago, they were just two young people with big dreams and goals for the future. They had no idea where life would take them, but they knew they wanted to build something meaningful together.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. Here’s to celebrating 30 years together and continuing to build for the future.
