Hypo: Let's say I have 2 loans - a $50k and a $10k, both at 7%.
Any reason not to consolidate the loans, if I am able to (assume the same interest rate)? Or would it be preferable to pay off the bigger loans first?

Re: Q. on Loan Repayment
Why are you consolidating them? If they are federal, you will not be saving any money. The only thing you gain is you only have to pay one bill each month. Unless they are serviced by the same place, in which case you can probably already do that.
But sure, consolidate them if you want. Or pay off the smaller one first. Or the larger one first. Whatever makes you happy.

If private loans, I'd wait until they offer a rate deduction (small, but it's something) for consolidating. I know I get offers for that every so often for my undergrad loans.Anonymous User wrote:Hypo: Let's say I have 2 loans - a $50k and a $10k, both at 7%.
