Pippin wants you to know
These days, Pippin is working closely with reporter Lauren Nowacki to keep a close eye on changes to the federal student loan program. "Student loans are the first debt burden most people take on, and you have to start repaying them when your wages are the lowest they'll likely ever be," he notes. "The current chaos around repayment plans and student loan forgiveness is so destabilizing for peoples' finances. I want readers to have the clearest and most accurate information so they can proactively plan for whatever the future holds."

Pippin lives in Denver. Before joining Bankrate, he brought vital news to his community as a small-town newspaper reporter. In his spare time, he enjoys foraging for mushrooms, reading and dabbling in amateur entomology.
