Hello! This is my first post. I just graduated from college and I will be accepting a commission in the Marine Corps. USAA offers a military officers a career starter loan of $25,000 at 2.99% interest with a 6 month deferment period. I am trying to decide if I should take this loan and if I do, how I should allocate it.
- I have $28,000 of unsubsidized student loans between 4%-5% interest. I could consolidate or refinance some or all of my student loans with this USAA loan.
- My car is in rough shape and it likely can't handle the trip to and from Quantico, VA for the next several months. I've considered getting a reliable, used car with the loan and using the rest to refinance student loans.
Thoughts or concerns? I'm very nervous about this so any help would be much appreciated.
