Journey To Launch 159- How Cindy Zuniga Paid Off $215,000 of Debt in 48 Months
Cindy Zuniga went to law school to make an impact in her community. After three years in law school and $215,000 of debt later, Cindy realized the real cost of her decision. Her first year out of school she paid $24,000 towards her student loans. However, only $4,000 went towards her loan’s principal balance.
