Most importantly, we share practical tools to help you avoid becoming house poor—or to recover if you're already there.

Have you been paying your Student Loans? Have you been waiting on forgiveness of your Student Loans? Recently, the Department of Education has begun collection efforts for Student Loan borrowers behind on their payments, who have not repaid their debts or entered into some type of workout plan regarding their Student Loan debts. The government estimates that there are 6.4 million Student Loan borrowers between the ages of 50 - 60, that owe a combined $282 Billion - or $46,000 per borrower. For some history or background, Student Loan payments paused during the COVID pandemic. But in October 2023, Student Loan payments resumed (subject to any workout plan negotiated with the Department of Education). Now, the government is seeking collection against any defaulted Student Loans, and they have as tools, the authority, under certain circumstances, to: (1) garnish wages, (2) intercept and retain tax refunds, and (3) intercept and retain social security payments. Unfortunately, Student Loans are still largely non-dischargeable under Bankruptcy Law, although there have been some in-roads. So how can you manage? There are still options available, including: Income-Driven Repayment. Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Modification You can also plan ahead for the costs of Education, by researching the different borrowing programs, Grants, 529 (and similar) plans.

Hey Rainmakers! Stephen here, and today we're tackling a topic that hits close to home for so many of us—debt and breaking free from its grip. In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Jeremy Krulikowski, a debt expert, to talk about practical strategies for freeing yourself from financial strongholds. Whether you're drowning in debt or just want to make smarter financial moves, this episode is packed with actionable insights that could change everything. We kick things off by diving into some shocking stats on debt in America—credit card debt, personal loans, delinquencies, you name it. Jeremy breaks down the hard numbers, giving a real picture of the debt crisis we're facing. But here's the thing: you don't have to stay stuck. If you're in debt, you're not alone, and there's a way out. Jeremy shares his personal story of how he struggled with money anxiety after his father's passing and how his journey led him to create a system that helps people negotiate their debt—saving them up to 50% on what they owe. Jeremy's approach isn't just about cutting back—he's all about supercharging your income and finding smarter ways to handle your money. He introduces his CROSS framework for becoming debt-free, starting with negotiating your debt down (yes, it's possible to cut your credit card debt in half!). But it doesn't stop there. We also talk about addressing the root causes of financial struggles—mindset shifts, limiting beliefs, and emotional triggers that can prevent you from taking control of your finances. If you've ever felt like you were working hard but never getting ahead, this episode is for you. Jeremy's advice is straightforward, empowering, and easy to implement, so you can start building wealth, not just paying off debt. It's time to break free from financial stress and start building the life you deserve!
