Dr. Paolo Varquez joins The Student Loan Podcast to share his personal journey with student loans and how he paid off over $75,000 in student loans in under 2 years.

Dr. Varquez does a great job of getting straight to the point of how to pay off your student loans and what to consider if you decide to go ahead and take out student loans.

In today's episode we also discuss:

• Reverse planning how you want to pay for schools;
• Considering the timing of your student loans;
• How to leverage the gig economy to pay off your student loans;
• Being open-minded to talking about money with your friends and family;
• The benefits of joining the debt free community; and
• Creative ways to turn everyday experiences into a possible savings strategy (hint, hint...Costco Adventures)
