A mom I don’t know stopped me at Costco recently—to tell me that I got all of her kids through college debt-free—and her family only did a fraction of the ideas I have in my book.

Her oldest is in medical school now, and has a huge jump start on keeping his med school debt low.

I told her to look at this article I wrote for more help keeping med school and grad school debt low.

This is wildly fun work I do.

She used this book:

Students will leave at the end of this online class armed with a systematic review method developed at Carnegie Mellon University that can completely eliminate the need to ever cram for exams.
