Summary

I’m dedicating this show to all my student loan borrowers out there. I know you listen to this show. I know you’re dedicated to getting ahead financially. I also know that this is an extremely challenging issue. Overcoming student loan debt. In this country …we have more than $1.2 trillion in outstanding student loan debt, 40 million borrowers, an average balance of $29,000. To help us out with some solutions…I’ve invited the co-founder and vice president at SoFi. This company is making a big name for itself as the alternative student loan refinancing engine. A second largest marketplace lender with over $3 billion in loans issued across student loan refinancing, mortgages, personal loans and MBA loans.
