How to read Canada's #1 student finance guide!

About our new guide Ka-ching! 
 
For weeks now, it's been the #1 selling student finance ebook on Amazon Canada. It's also a high-ranking seller in the US.
 
Despite those high rankings, we've just dropped the price by almost half. Right now, you can get it for under $8.

Edmonton: Free Workshop!

UPDATE: The Edmonton event is now over. This remains just for the record.
 
Got student debt in Edmonton? Want your student loans to disappear faster, with less stress and cost?
 
On Thursday, January 30, come out of the cold for our free lunchtime workshop!
 
"Take Control of Your Student Loans" is quite a rare event. In Alberta, it will be given for only one day this year by Jeannine Mitchell, Canada's non-profit expert in student debt management. 
 




Coming for real -- a better design!

June Update:

Ok, this is getting kind of funny, though not funny ha ha. The website IS being re-designed, but we're doing it ourselves.

Thanks to Zach for his consult and graphics work, which will help us along.

Yes, it really is gonna happen...

 

April Update:

The new website is coming along nicely.

Things got slowed down this winter due to technical issues, such as design and code work sadly being lost. Yes, this is why it pays to back stuff up...




Private Answers To Go Public

 
Along with more and more users, we at Student Finance 101/Debt 101 keep getting more and more individual student loan questions.
 
It's understandable. There are indeed many mysteries in the world of student loans.
 
But the time pressures on this volunteer-run site just won't permit this kind of free individual counselling. And after all, this is what you're paying taxes and tuition fees for, right? Governments, banks and campuses should be answering these questions.
