Using Side Hustles to Pay Off Your Student Loans and Other Debts Faster

Depending on where you are with your financial journey you may be dealing with debt. In some cases, a mountain of it. 

Right now people are keeping an eye out on student loans and understandably so. It’s been estimated that 62% of college seniors who graduated from nonprofit colleges in 2019 had student loan debt.

It’s a burden on many budgets and can feel even heavier if you have other debts like car payments and credit cards. Did you know that the average payment for a used car is over $400? 

It may be that earning more is a necessity if you’re trying to get out of debt as soon as possible. 

This is why I wanted to share from the archives a discussion I had with Kevin, attorney, side hustler, and the creator of Financial Panther. Years ago, he used side hustles to pay off $87,000 in student loans in less than 3 years!

In this episode we'll get into:

• what motivated him to pay them off ASAP
• the real work involved with different side hustles 
• how your phone can help you earn cash

Hope you enjoy!
