Just a heads up: Right now, rates are projected to go down to 3.4% (91 day tbill + 2.3%). Rates are currently at 6.8%
I believe the last 91 day tbill auction in May is used, and that could possibly be even lower than the current 1.1%
I almost consolidated my loans last year, but I took a shot that rates would be lower, hopefully things stick for a couple of months.

Forgive my ignorance, but what kind of loans are you referring to? Student loans, or any kind of loans? What about credit card "loans"?

Hi there,
Thanks for this announcement, can I consolidate my subsidized Stafford loans so that when I pay them off when I graduate the rate will be lower? If so, how and where do I do this?
