A new generation of borrowers is emerging—and advisors need to be ready to serve them.

By Rory Henry CFP®, BFA™
For CPA Trendlines

Student loan debt is not just a problem for young professionals anymore. It is a challenge that increasingly touches families, near-retirees, and even retirees. With more than $1.8 trillion in federal student loan debt across 42.5  million borrowers, the issue is too significant for CPAs and financial advisors to overlook because more and more of their clients are directly affected.

On the latest episode of Holistic Guide to Wealth Management, Alex Bottom, CEO of Finology, and Ryan Galiotto, CFP®, CSLP®, founder of the Student Loan Help Network, discuss how new legislation, shifting demographics, and growing demand for guidance are reshaping this area of planning.

“Student loan planning is essentially looking at a client’s full financial picture and helping them find the fastest and cheapest way to eliminate that debt,” Galiotto explains. “[Student loan] debt is a massive issue within our country right now, and it is only going to get bigger.”
