Reaching financial independence takes a whole lot of drive and determination. It definitely does not come to us overnight. There are difficult steps that we must take to earn the truly awesome rewards that come with owning our own time and choosing the direction of our day.
One of those major milestone steps is escaping the grips of student loan debt.
Recently in the US, Student Loan Debt exceeded credit card debt and surpassed the $1 Trillion mark for the first time. In our great state of Michigan, the average student loan total is around $35,000. When you’re barely making that much as your starting salary, eliminating those loans can seem like a constant uphill battle.
