Artists in the United States are graduating from training programs with unsustainable student debt. How do you plan for the future with a volatile income, when success does not necessarily equal financial stability? How do you pursue your art and still manage to pay your monthly student loan bill? Repaid explains student loan consolidation and repayment, budgeting on an erratic income, health care, and unemployment for artists. Artists need to know they are not alone, and their student debt can be repaid.
