The average student graduates with $37,000 in debt. Kelly Peeler of NextGenVest has developed a text-based platform to educate Generation Z on the perils of student loans, before they become saddled by a crushing amount of debt.

We all know most students will graduate with a bunch of debt coming out of school, some way more than others. Did you know 30% of students who go to post secondary will end up dropping out because of financial trouble? Kelly Peeler is trying to break that statistic down. She and her team of smart, passionate people help students overcome the anxiety of money, break down the wording in their loans and even help them come up with a plan on how to pay the loans back as quickly as possible. She created NextGenVest which is an organization helping students understand their student loans in a big brother / sister way. Through texting, these students can reach out to Kelly and her team and have someone to speak to about money troubles and Kelly's team will offer a plan. How freaking cool is that?  Check out this episode on how she started this journey and why she became passionate about it. 

Learn more about the NextGenVest platform and Kelly Peeler’s experience helping young Iraqi entrepreneurs, as well as her views on the dangers posed by the student loan industry.

Kelly Peeler describes how NextGenVest helps high school and college student prepare for, and manage, their college financial aid, using a combination of human interaction and machine learning.

Morphmom Moments with Move For Minds and NextGenVest 4 - 6-17 JZ by morphmom

One of the goals of the Better Off podcast is to make the daunting seem doable. And there is no more daunting topic than college. From saving for it, going through the selection process and the heavy lifting of paying for it (whether out of pocket or through financial aid and student loans), the whole subject produces anxiety for students and their families. But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to our guest Kelly Peeler, founder and CEO of NextGenVest, a free text message service to help students navigate the college selection and financial aid and student loan processes. It’s the busy time of year for Kelly and her team, as college acceptances are rolling in and families are trying to figure what to do with all the various forms. And those forms are KEY. Can you believe that more than $2.7 billion dollars, yes billion with a B, of unclaimed financial aid money is left on the table every single year primarily because people don’t fill out the FAFSA form. That blows my mind. By using NextGenVest, students and their families are connected with Money Mentors who will help coach them through the process and also provide key financial aid deadline reminders, form annotations, and on-demand help via text message to get more financial aid in high school and beyond. Mentors will also answer questions such as: -How do I find scholarships I can actually apply to? -Am I filling out the right FAFSA forms? -Am I allowed to negotiate my college tuition? -Is working during college a good idea? -Can I still get scholarships even if I don’t have great grades? Aside from discussing the dreaded but necessary forms, we also talked to Kelly about the student loan bubble and why she feels it could be the next financial crisis.
