When do student loans begin accumulating interest?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

I’m going to be starting grad school in the next year and have no experience with the student loans I’ll probably end up taking out. I’ve searched for details via several student loan websites, and perhaps no one mentions it because it’s taken for granted that interest accumulates immediately, but are there any loans available that begin accruing their interest after the student graduates school? Or is this “pay six months after you graduate” just a phenomenon with when the required payments begin? If there are loans that do not accrue interest during school, do they have fines for early payment?

Thanks for your help answering (probably obvious) questions for a student-loan newbie!

Would the removal of the Royal Family help the current economy crisis?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

was just thinking of the wealth and land the royal family own and how much would be spent each year on their maintenance and security and whatever expenses they cost the tax payer, would the UK be better off without them for financial reasons?
Simm101 is one of them people who think they’re right all the time when in fact they’re not so that answer is definitely not getting chosen. His approach is “blame the government,what the queen says is gospel” when it is not in fact the point of my question

Have any of you become very successful in corporate finance or investing?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

If so, can you explain how you came to be – education, jobs, careers, independently studying, reading, classes/seminars, attitude? I am currently reading the book Barbarians at the Gate and the aspects of corporate finance revealed in this book are very interesting to me.

I want to apply for the best auto loan. Will applying to several auto loans affect my FICO score?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

Also, I was already approve for a car loan, but I want to find a better deal. If I go and apply for several other loans, will my first approval become affected? What I mean is since I was approve for the first loan, will it change because I went to apply for another one?

What kind of degree in Finance should i get?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

I’ve been working for a long time and a couple of my bosses have suggested I have a knack for Finance and it really interests me. Now that I’ve enrolled I’ve been looking around and there are lots like a business degree in finance, science degree in finance, computational finance, financial engineering…I’m really good on the math side but will a business degree in finance help me more in the long run?

What’s a bigger issue facing the US today: failing economy or the threat of terrorism and why?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

No one seems to be talking about our sinking economy, but terrorism is the talk of the town again just because some cars were set on fire in the UK.
