President Biden just announced the details of his student loan forgiveness program. So will you be one of the millions struggling with student loan debt to get a little relief?
 This week I am literally on the road as I drive all over my home state of California. I packed my mic and a bag of popcorn to breakdown the latest round of student loan forgiveness from a parking lot in beautiful Big Sur, California!

448: PFN - Interest Rates Aren't Going Down Any Time Soon

What would you do if you inherited $600,000 in your 20s?

I’d like to say that I would’ve been responsible if I got that amount of money in my 20s, but in all honesty, I probably would’ve saved a little and spent a lot. That's exactly what happened to Haley and Justin Brown-Woods when they inherited $600,000 from a grandparent. They didn't just spend it all—they racked up a ton of credit card debt too. That set them on a wild ride of debt repayment and led to the birth of their podcast, 'The Price of Avocado Toast.' In today's episode, they're sharing Part 1 of their story. Don’t forget to listen to Part 2 next Tuesday!
