I sat down with Dr. Ryan Decker, Founding Director of North Central College’s Center for Financial Literacy and Associate Professor of Economics, to unpack what debt really is, the different types out there, and how to find the courage to face what you owe. Dr. Decker also shares practical strategies to help you take control of your finances and start paying down that debt for good. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your balance statements or just want to get smarter about your money, this conversation is for you. It’s time to ditch the debt!
