My Guest on the Show…
Michelle was completely normal….and it sucked.
She lived the American Dream and attended college with the false belief that everyone graduates college, gets a 6-figure job, and lives happily ever after.
Except….it didn’t work out that way.
Instead, Michelle graduated college with $50k worth of student loan debt. Instead of landing a 6-figure salary, she lands a job making $25k per year while living in New York City.
Then she had to move in with her parents and things started going from hopeful to hopeless quickly.
Now the good news: Michelle decided enough was enough and changed the way she looked at money forever.
In fact, Michelle took massive levels of action and paid down her $50k in student loans over the next five years.
And now she’s sharing her story with us!
