NATIONAL — Are you wondering what to get the millennial in your life for Christmas?

Consider picking up the tab of one of their student loan payments.

In another survey, borrowers were asked what they would do if they got money as a gift and nearly 60 percent said they would put it towards paying their student loans.

The average monthly payment comes out to be about $350.

More than 44 million students have about $1.4 trillion in debt.
