36. “We make $145k per year but have $828k in debt — and feel totally paralyzed”
Sarah and Nat are making things too hard for themselves. They met in grad school, where they acquired a great deal of student debt without the knowledge of how to handle it. They’re good at talking about their problems but not at talking about solutions.

Show Notes
Sarah and Nat are physical therapists that are making things too hard for themselves. The enormous cost of education coupled with relatively low pay has left them burdened with debt that colors every decision they make—including whether or not to have more children.
They’ve spent ten years worrying about it but are still without a decent plan. I want to help them discover what it would look like to live a Rich Life, with or without debt, and I lead this episode in that direction.
But when I walk them right up to their solution, it leads to another, more important, question… Do they even want to change? Tune in to find out.
