“Smart enough to become a lawyer. Stupid enough to get hundreds of thousands in debt and not blink and eye until it’s time to pay the piper.”

I’m pretty sure I don’t know any lawyers who are good at math.

Wonder if she participated in Spring Break at some exotic location with her student loans.

Didn’t learn much in Law School did you? School loans are exempt from bankruptcy relief, thanks to Obama.

He can sue himself and should be able to write off his legal debt in bankruptcy.

“5. The debt snowball ... I couldn’t sleep at night if I knew I was paying off something that was 5% APR, instead of something that was 18% APR. I think I would go insane.”

I slept way better at night as I saw significant progress in the total amount of debt (and number of debts), dropping like flies.

The real trick is to pay extra against the principle amount owed.
