In this episode, I dive into the new reality of paying interest on my once interest-free student loan after spending six months overseas. We explore how this unexpected change impacts my financial situation, investing strategy and lifestyle.

Things we discuss:

• Impact of student loan interest after living abroad.
• Deciding whether to pay off the loan or wait.
• Financial considerations for those with student loans while living overseas.
• How loan interest affects budgeting and investment strategies.
• Adjusting future financial plans and increasing income streams.
• Steps to stop student loan interest by returning to New Zealand.
