Investing While Paying off $200k in Student Loans

When Emily graduated from her Master’s Program in May 2020, she was close to $200,000 in debt and was entering the economy during a global pandemic. About six months later, Emily started her blog "Sometimes Sensible" where she talks about financial wellness and investing education. On this episode, our host Thamina and Emily talk about navigating conversations around debt with your partner and how someone who has loans can still be smart about money while enjoying life at the same time. Emily - who supported herself through college and grad school - also explains under which circumstances it makes sense to invest while paying off debt and when it is financially smarter to solemnly focus on paying off loans first.
