ANECDOTE

Sole Breadwinner Strategy

  • Dr. Raney became the sole breadwinner after his wife chose to stay home with their kids. He paid almost all the loans on his income while his wife managed the household.
ADVICE

Max Extra Work, Max Retirement, Then Attack Debt

  • Work extra shifts and funnel all discretionary income to loans after maxing retirement contributions. Use your schedule advantages (like week-on/week-off) to pick up additional shifts and accelerate payoff.
