In today's episode, I talk with Bri Franklin, a money coach who helps people pick a smart path after high school. We talk about college costs and student loans, and what to ask before you sign for debt. Bri shares ways to cut student loan debt, like help money, scholarships, a lower cost school, job skills, or a trade. We also talk about loan offers that sound good but can hurt you later. If you or your kid is thinking about college and student loans, this talk will help.
