When college looked unaffordable for Jocelyn Paonita, she sprang into action and raised over $120,000 in scholarships. How did she score so much money? What was her system? We’ll discuss all of that on today’s show. Whether you have a child headed to college, in school, in college yourself, or just looking for a story about someone taking massive action to solve their problem.
We’ll also throw out the Haven Life Line to Trey. He’s buying a house and is worried about the recent credit hack. Should he freeze his credit, only to open it again nearly immediately? Plus we’ll answer a letter from Michelle, who wonders how to set and prioritize goals.
Special thanks to M1Finance and Big Picture Retirement podcast for sponsoring our show! We couldn’t do any of this without the support of these awesome companies.
