The difference between “The” economy and your economy.
Whose economy is it anyway and why should you care?

The Dow recently dropped 531 points in one day. So what? It didn’t decrease my debt payments or put more money in my bank account. How about you?

Recently heard from Dale C. Here’s what he had to say:

“Hey Greg,

Listening to episode # 186 (second one for me and trying to catch up) and really enjoying your podcasts.

I subscribe to a boatload of the podcasts and now I’m trying to pare down the list to a manageable group. I’m thinking I definitely need to keep yours on the list!

So was it just me, or did it sound like Andrea was changing a poopy diaper while she was talking to you? Haha!! Wow, she seems to be a character! Which I love!

Anyway, so sorry it took so long to get addicted to podcasts but glad I finally did and that I found yours! Looking forward to hearing more from you in the future.”

How can you pay your student debt faster?

Vladislav, a listener, asks us how he can pay his $75k student debt off faster than 5 yrs. We respond with answers.

Add as much as you can to your minimum monthly payment.
No matter how much or how little that is, you’ll be debt free faster than if you didn’t pre-pay the debt.
