Student Loans Part 1: How Millionaires Think About Debt (Ep. 124)
Are student loans holding you back or could they be the key to your financial growth?
This episode of The lawyer Millionaire Podcast kicks off a special six-part “Student Loan Success” series designed for law firm owners just like you. Instead of treating student loans like a shackle, I’ll show you how the most successful professionals view debt as a strategic tool that serves as a launchpad not an anchor.
I challenge the old narratives that say you have to be debt-free before building wealth. Instead, you’ll hear why your loans shouldn’t keep you from investing, why “waiting until later” is one of the biggest financial mistakes you can make, and how thinking like a millionaire now could be your biggest asset (no matter what your loan statement says).
This episode covers:

* Reframing student loans as an opportunity rather than a burden.
* How to let go of guilt or shame about student loans.
* What most financial gurus won’t tell you about debt?
* The potential downside of waiting until loans are fully paid off before investing.
* The importance of protecting retirement savings.
