Was your decision to take out a student loan the right decision? In this episode, I make the case that student debt isn’t only the right decision, but a fantastic one. It can feel like a burden, but it’s also a massive opportunity to gain access to high-income skills that you can use to maximize your potential and leave a lasting impact.

In today’s episode, you'll find out:

  • Why I think student loan debt is a good thing
  • Why you shouldn’t wait to apply for PSLF, despite FedLoan leaving
  • Whether cash back credit cards are worth it
  • How disability discharge can forgive student loans
  • How student loans can give you the security of high income and job security
