Ep 32. We’re Debt Free! Money, Marriage, & Making our Final Student Loan Payment with Mazi Condelee
Description
Episode Summary:
$500,000. That’s the student loan debt my husband, Mazi, and I faced — $270k from OT school and $230k from CRNA school. It felt overwhelming, like we’d be making payments forever.
But step by step — through budget talks, sacrifices, and a whole lot of mindset work — we did it. As of this month, we are officially debt free.
In this episode, we’re sharing our student loan payoff journey — what worked, what didn’t, and how we kept going when the finish line felt so far away.
No magic wand, no one-size-fits-all advice — just our story and the hope that it inspires you to tackle your loans in a way that works for you.
Because no matter how long it takes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
