The website I found was talking about how you can manage your student debt and different ways to pay it off, especially since the cost of living is increasing rapidly. Some options that were listed were to get a job, manage your current budget and to use your grants or other money that has been given to assist in paying off the debt. 

I chose that website because CBC is a trustworthy and reliable Canadian news source with valuable information. The information that I found useful was using the grants to assist in paying off the loans. Another thing that I saw but had not thought of was selling valuables to assist in paying off debt.

The website I found was credit Canada. This website talks about the various ways to assist in paying off student debt. The site provides plenty of advice and resources to help out students who are in the situation of paying off student debt. The site also gives you tips on what to do after your finished school and while you are in school.

This site provided many quick to access resources. It was also straight forward and easy to understand. This site talked about repayment extensions which I don’t really know about and when I read it, I was intrigued.

This website was talking about how to manage student debt in COVID-19 times. The website provided some information about how to mange debt including contacting lenders in case you get in trouble. This site also talks about the CARES act (Coronavirus, aid, Relief and Economic Security act) which explains how people can pay off student loans in the pandemic that is currently happening. One of the examples of that being an income driven repayment plan. 

 What made this site stand out to me was the fact that the site talked about how students are managing to pay off or be able to pay student debt during COVID 19 which is relatable due to the conditions that are happening right now.

This website talks about how to manage student debt and provides some ways of how to pay it off such by getting a part time job, getting a room mate to assist in helping to pay rent etc. The site also provided some advice from some students that were in this situation and how they managed to get out of the situation. This site provided methods on how to manage the student debt and which part of the debt you should payoff first. 

What made this site stand out is the fact that they had students give their advice on how to manage student debt and followed up with those students years later.

What made this video stand out from the others was that the video provided examples of how the person in the video was able to payoff their debt.  This person was also very personal about and gave specific detail about how he handled paying off his debt.

The reason I chose this video was that the people in the video seemed relatable and personable. The one thing that I liked is that they showed what the website looked like and helped figure out a plan to get started. What I did not know was that the grants that are offered to you are not required for you to take them. The other thing that I did not know was that your loan as split into both a provincial and Federal amount.

What I did not know about the fact that the government places you on a 9.5year repayment plan but you can make your own plan to pay it off sooner. 

The thing that I liked about this video is that the person in the video broke down the loan repayment situations all across Canada. The video was also very current because it spoke about loan repayment in 2020. The video was also easy to follow along and understand.  The video was also funny since there were well placed edits.
