Compounding is the royal road to riches... or the fast track to ruin. In this episode:
  • Why small financial mistakes snowball into massive life problems if ignored
  • The shocking story of a $74,000 grad school loan that ballooned to $300,000
  • How Gen X is entering retirement with the heaviest student loan burden of any generation
  • Why “wishing it away” or waiting for government forgiveness only makes it worse
  • The simple rule: deal with debt immediately, work extra if you have to, and stop compounding mistakes
 Debt doesn’t disappear. It compounds. And for millions of Americans, it’s turning into a lifelong financial prison.
