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.

Hello Andy Hill,
Thanks for the reminder that financial independence is absolutely possible, only that it requires utmost drive and determination. I’m a long-time follower of Robert and I always pay keen interest to his business ‘The College Investor.’ Actually, he has been instrumental in helping many escape student loan debts and become wealthy. Crushing a student loan worth $32,000 by the age of 32 was remarkable. I think his zeal in coaching others crush debt, save and invest for their future is a heavenly deed. I’m whom I am now – renown finance guru, thanks to such insights, that’s why I can’t thank you enough.
Best Regards,
CreditFix.
