Tune in on Saturday, October 12 @ 11 am, and Sunday, October 13 @ 8 pm to hear Ira speak with FRANCES RAHAIM, PhD of Hug Your Student Debt and Power Down Debt. Learn why most Americans get trapped in layers of debt and how simply correcting some common mistakes can turn things around. Learn about the (patent pending) software program and coaching Frances provides, that strategizes paying off all debt — even student loans and mortgages in the most cost efficient (and credit-savvy) method. How not doing this correctly delays college grads from getting on with life, not to mention threatening retirement security for parents. Also, how so many of the quick fixes available actually dig the hole deeper.
