If you die, is your student loan debt buried with you?
Depends on if someone co-signed for you. If they did, the loan defaults to them. Otherwise, your remaining estate covers the burden. If you have no assets, then the loans are forgiven, especially for federal loans and Sallie Mae (Navient). Good luck! Try to get those paid off before you die so you can enjoy a bit of life in between
I've been slowly whittling mine away too.
