353-How to Get Out of Debt Fast By Driving A Truck (And Build a Freedom Fund!): Interview With Ben and Deb Martinek
Often very large financial goals can be achieved in a relatively short period of time if you focus enough on the goal and execute a plan with intense action.
Today, I bring you the story and experience of a couple who did just that. Ben and Deb Martinek decided to become over-the-road truck drivers so that they could pay off their student loans in a very short period of time.
They succeeded in paying off about $100,000 in debt in 2.5 years by driving a truck. And they had a great time doing it!
Today we hear their story and ideas on how you can do something similar for yourself.
