Breaking Student Debt Podcast

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Melanie Lockert, author of Dear Debt: A Story About Breaking Up With Debt and founder of www.deardebt.com  Melanie paid off $81,000 in student loan debt in 4 years on her own. We discuss the emotional toll debt takes on a person, strategies she used to reduce her debt, and why we as a society don't talk about debt. Melanie became an expert in the "side hustle" during her 4 years of paying off her debt. She explains how she and you can start bringing in extra income through unique ways outside of you day job.
