This (inaugural!) bonus episode features certified financial planner David Fortosis, owner of ClearCounsel Advisors, walking us through all things money after grad school. 

Specifically, David dives into the current economy’s likely effect on student loan interest rates, personal budgeting, weighing employment options with varying student debt obligations, income-based repayment plans, public service loan forgiveness, earning extra cash on the side—you name it, we cover it. 

Whatever your financial literacy level or money situation, we hope you’ll find Dave’s words of wisdom applicable.

***And now, the standard disclaimer: Nothing in this episode should be taken as personalized financial advice. Please consult a certified financial planner or other trusted advisor for such guidance.***
