20/20 Money Episode #229 – $600k+ of student loans…GONE!! Catching up with Drs. Zac and Joelle Holland

March 27, 2023

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guests on today’s show are Drs. Zac & Joelle Holland, OD. Zac and Joelle join me back on the show to celebrate something that I know many younger ODs aspire to achieve and a number of seasoned ODs have already achieved: the paying off of their student loans. What makes their story so unique, inspiring, and empowering is the amount of student loan debt they had and how quickly they paid it off.

This is essentially “Part 2” of our conversation as I had them on the show way back on episode #86 to talk with them about the journey when they were in the thick of the repayment plan. On today’s episode they share a lot of insights and information. They’ll share how much and in what time period they paid it off, how the journey into practice ownership influenced their plan, how they think about debt going forward, and what they’ve learned throughout the process. They’ll also share an unexpected joy they’re experiencing on the “other side” of being debt free. I hope you’ll enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

You can also check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks, blog posts, and on-demand webinars.
