Using Side Hustles to Pay Off Your Student Loans and Other Debts FasterDepending on where you are with your financial journey you may be dealing with debt. In some cases, a mountain of it.
Right now people are keeping an eye out on student loans and understandably so. It’s been estimated that 62% of college seniors who graduated from nonprofit colleges in 2019 had student loan debt.
It’s a burden on many budgets and can feel even heavier if you have other debts like car payments and credit cards. Did you know that the average payment for a used car is over $400?
It may be that earning more is a necessity if you’re trying to get out of debt as soon as possible.
This is why I wanted to share from the archives a discussion I had with Kevin, attorney, side hustler, and the creator of Financial Panther. Years ago, he used side hustles to pay off $87,000 in student loans in less than 3 years!
In this episode we'll get into:
- what motivated him to pay them off ASAP
- the real work involved with different side hustles
- how your phone can help you earn cash
Hope you enjoy!
