Thinking Ahead: Paying for College and Staying Out of Debt
Episode 4 - Student Loans as of May 12, 2025
**Due to a mistake on my part, the episode, although recorded several weeks ago, didn't make it to the directory until May 31st. My apologies. **
In this episode, I give an update on the state of student loans in the United States.
At one point, I said $330 and $350 million, when I meant BILLION with a B. Huge difference.
