I have a masters education cost of about $15,000 coming up. There is a loan program at 1.75% that would cover most of it.
I have no other debt. I have enough in cash to cover it.
Is it a good idea to take the loan anyway due to the interest being around inflation level? meaning it's basically just an IOU?
EDIT: Here are the rules of the loan:
-
I am forced to pay 9% of my salary above $23,500 until the loan is paid off
-
Interest is at 1.75%
-
If I am unemployed I make no payments
-
Any unpaid balance is cancelled after 30 years
