šŸ” No time to watch? Here’s the low down:

  • ā°Don’t miss the deadline for the IDR Waiver
    Remember—if you need to consolidate to get that retroactive credit towards forgiveness, your consolidation application should be on file by December 31 2023. But don’t wait. Servicers are slammed and processing delays can happen. So if you’re going to consolidate, now is the time.

  • āš–ļø Are you sacrificing happiness to be debt free?
    If your goal is freedom from debt but the road to get there is all suffering, I encourage you to look at this a little differently.
    Listen to this (2:59—4:34)


  • šŸ™ŒHow Diane went from the brink of bankruptcy to full forgiveness
    Cool story. Before I met Diane, she was embroiled in a chapter 13 bankruptcy with another attorney. She came to me with a hunch something was wrong. On our call, I realized she didn’t need to file for bankruptcy at all, so she stopped the process. And just yesterday, all her student loans got forgiven. That’s the power of staying informed.

  • ā­ļø Reminder: A call for success stories
    A huge thank you to everyone who’s submitted their stories of student loan triumph. If you’ve got one too, I want to hear from you.
