Podcast Episode 96: How to Rapidly Pay off Law School Debt (with guest Financial Panther)

May 9, 2017 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Law School Toolbox podcast

Welcome back! Today, we’re excited to have as our guest the founder of Financial Panther, a personal finance blog created for young professionals. Kevin paid off all his law school loans in a little over two years and has a lot of insight into how to stay financially grounded once you enter the legal profession.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How Kevin paid off his law school loans so quickly
  • The impact of scholarship offers on law school decisions
  • Calculating how much debt you can really take on
  • Living like a student after you’ve started making money
  • How to work the side-hustle in and after law school
  • Common financial mistakes students and young lawyers make
  • Giving yourself some financial breathing room to prepare for the uncertainties of life
  • Assessing competing financial priorities and decisions when you first enter the workforce
  • Is law school really worth it, financially speaking?
