Older US borrowers face rising student loan delinquency: How to avoid default under Trump's crackdown
The Trump administration is cracking down on unpaid student loans: Here's how it's hitting older borrowers and how they can avoid default. (AI Image) The Trump administration has intensified efforts to collect on unpaid student loans, placing older borrowers in the US at heightened risk of financial penalties. Nearly 1 in 5 student loan holders aged 50 and above are now classified as "seriously delinquent," meaning they are 90 days or more behind on their payments. According to data released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and reported by CNBC, around 18% of older borrowers became seriously delinquent in the second quarter of 2025. This marks a significant increase from approximately 10% in 2019. By comparison, 8% of borrowers aged 18 to 29 and 11% of those aged 30 to 39 fell into the same category during the same period. Older borrowers face growing repayment challenges Older Americans are increasingly struggling to meet their student loan obligations as the Trump administration resumes federal collection activities. Many of these borrowers either took out loans to fund their children's education or returned to school later in life but did not experience the expected financial return, as reported by CNBC. "Being delinquent on student loan debt is difficult for people who are approaching their retirement years," said Lori Trawinski, director of finance and employment at AARP, in a statement to CNBC. "People end up having to make extremely difficult choices." Risk of garnishment increases after delinquency Borrowers who fall behind on payments do not immediately face the most severe consequences. According to higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz, as quoted by CNBC, federal loan holders are considered in default after missing payments for over 270 days. For private loans, default may be declared after 120 days of non-payment. While delinquency can affect credit scores, default triggers harsher collection methods. The US Department of Education may garnish up to 15% of a borrower's disposable wages, CNBC reported. Although the department has paused garnishment of Social Security benefits since May 5, no formal regulation has been issued to prevent such actions in the future. Trawinski noted to CNBC that while wage garnishments are expected to begin later in the summer, there is still uncertainty about whether Social Security offsets will resume. Options available to avoid default Financial advisors stress the importance of exploring federal repayment plans to avoid default. Douglas Boneparth, a certified financial planner and member of the CNBC Financial Advisor Council, stated that income-driven repayment plans can "significantly lower monthly payments and prevent default," as reported by CNBC. Borrowers can use tools on to estimate payments under different plans. The Income-Based Repayment plan remains available, though recent legal and legislative changes have limited other options, according to CNBC. In addition to repayment plans, borrowers can apply for temporary relief such as forbearance or economic hardship deferment. Boneparth cautioned, as quoted by CNBC, that "requesting a temporary forbearance can buy time, but ideally, borrowers should aim for an affordable, sustainable payment plan." The Education Department continues to encourage borrowers to take proactive steps to avoid default, especially those who remain employed and may soon be subject to wage garnishment.

Debt alarm: US national debt hits record $37 trillion, pace doubles with trillion added every five months
AI image The US government's gross national debt has crossed $37 trillion, setting a new record that underscores the growing strain on the country's finances and adding to the cost pressures facing taxpayers, according to the latest Treasury Department report issued Tuesday. The milestone has arrived years earlier than pre-pandemic forecasts. In January 2020, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that gross federal debt would exceed $37 trillion only after fiscal year 2030. But the figure accelerated as the multi-year Covid-19 pandemic, starting in 2020, shut down much of the US economy, prompting heavy federal borrowing under then-President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden to stabilise the economy and support recovery. More recently, debt levels have been driven higher by additional government spending following Trump's signing into law of Republicans' tax cut and spending package earlier this year. CBO estimates that the law will add $4.1 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Michael Peterson, chair and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, said in a statement that government borrowing pushes interest rates upward, 'adding costs for everyone and reducing private sector investment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pabuaran: Unsold Sofas Prices May Surprise You (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Within the federal budget, the debt crowds out important priorities and creates a damaging cycle of more borrowing, more interest costs, and even more borrowing.' Wendy Edelberg, a senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution, noted that Congress plays a decisive role in shaping spending and revenue policies. She said the impact of the Republicans' tax law 'means that we're going to borrow a lot over the course of 2026, we're going to borrow a lot over the course of 2027, and it's just going to keep going.' The Government Accountability Office has outlined several ways rising national debt affects Americans, including higher borrowing costs for mortgages and cars, lower wages as businesses invest less, and more expensive goods and services. Peterson highlighted how debt milestones are 'piling up at a rapid rate.' The US reached $34 trillion in January 2024, $35 trillion in July 2024, and $36 trillion in November 2024. 'We are now adding a trillion more to the national debt every five months,' he said, noting this is more than twice as fast as the average pace over the last 25 years. According to the Joint Economic Committee, at the current average daily growth rate, another trillion dollars will be added to the debt in about 173 days. Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said in a statement, 'hopefully this milestone is enough to wake up policymakers to the reality that we need to do something, and we need to do it quickly.'

What is F.I.R.E? Can F.I.R.E really help you retire early? 4 reasons it may not work for you
Imagine sipping your coffee in the morning at your dream house with your close ones by your side, and not having to worry about a job to go. This life resonates more with the older population who have retired from their jobs. But the F.I.R.E (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement aims to achieve this lifestyle at a significantly younger age by saving and spending money consciously. Here is everything you need to know about F.I.R.E and if it really works. F.I.R.E stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. This principle is all about achieving true financial freedom well before the usual retirement age. People who follow the F.I.R.E rule aim to save and invest their income aggressively, which would allow them to have a financial cushion good enough to sustain their lifestyle without a paycheck. F.I.R.E rule followers believe in reducing lifestyle costs, investing strategically in stocks, mutual funds, and FDs among others, setting a retirement target and adjusting their previous strategies as and when required. The F.I.R.E movement has started gaining more popularity in the US and Indians are adapting to it too. According to Motley Fool data gathered between 2016 and 2022, only a small percentage of Americans have been able to achieve F.I.R.E. As per the data, only 1% of Americans aged 40-44 retired through F.I.R.E, 2% in the 45-49 age group and 6% in the 50-54 age group. In India, achieving F.I.R.E depends on a lot of external factors. People following this principle must save a huge chunk of their paycheck and living costs in cities creates an obstacle in doing so. Inflation also plays a role in saving money, and higher inflation may ruin your plans in retiring early. F.I.R.E is only suitable for those with relatively low expenses, high earning potential, or a combination of both. Therefore, while this principle is viable for some people, it is not meant for all. If you follow F.I.R.E, the first thing you have to do is significantly change your lifestyle for a frugal one. If you cannot compromise on your lifestyle, F.I.R.E may not work for you. F.I.R.E is heavily impacted by market fluctuations. A market downturn can negatively impact your investments and may require you to further cut down on your expenses. Medical emergencies and other unforeseen circumstances can impact your F.I.R.E plans and may require you to change your investment strategies and lifestyle. If you have to make a significant expense regularly, F.I.R.E may not be for you. If you are a social butterfly and love to interact with your colleagues, retiring early through F.I.R.E may negatively impact your social life.
