Are you a student who will be graduating from optometry school soon? 🤔🤔

We understand that leaving or graduating from optometry school with debt can be stressful.

This episode is dedicated to you!

In this episode, we'll go over some solid debt-management tips and advice that will help you in your first few years after graduation. Tips on how to ensure that you are not just paying off your student debt or loans, but also creating a financially secure environment and thinking about long-term goals! 🤗🤗

What's even more amazing is that this advice came from someone who graduated only 5 years ago with a six-figure student loan debt but is now almost debt-free. Isn't that amazing?! 😲
