I’m currently living in St. Louis, Missouri, home to an incredible startup community that helped create my shockingly successful student loan business.

Interview with Dave Plier of WGN Radio in Chicago
I called in from Reykjavik this morning (on my $5/month Republic Wireless phone plan no less) to be interviewed on WGN Radio to talk about my new book, 25 IS THE NEW 65: How to Retire Outrageously Early and Do Whatever the Heck You Want. I got to speak to host Dave Plier of The Dave Plier Show about a little bit of everything: how to payoff debt, start an emergency fund, think about savings, and even how I caught my super cheap flight to Europe.
