Episode Details

When President Biden was asked at his first town hall whether he would forgive at least $50,000 of student loan debt, he quickly responded, "I will not make that happen." The president is in support of canceling $10k for borrowers, but there's a catch. Student Loan Planner Consultant Meagan Landress joins me to unpack why the president said what he did, what it means and what borrowers might expect in the next four years.
