Caveat, those that comment likely to have higher savings. Less drive to comment if you are feeling “behind” those that started with less, divorced, experienced illness etc will not be at the top of this heap. That’s ok.

Not sure if this is the right bowl but hoping to get some insight. I have a lot of student debt, and am considering refinancing with First Republic bank to get a (marginally) lower interest rate. However, their version of refinancing student loans has changed in the last couple years so now they offer you a personal line of credit. Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?
