• Student Loans Just Changed... Here’s How to Pay Them Off Faster (This Year!)

  In this episode of The Personal Finance Podcast, we break down the massive student loan changes hitting in 2025—why SAVE, PAYE, IBR, and ICR plans are being eliminated for new borrowers starting July 2026, how interest resuming on SAVE loans means balances could grow again, and why wage garnishment restarts in August 2025. We provide a 12-step action plan to pay off loans faster, including the biweekly payment hack that saves $1,000+ in interest, scripts to negotiate lower rates, and how to get $5,250 per year in tax-free employer loan assistance before these changes make escape even harder. ⁠Get the Student Loans GUIDE Here!  How Andrew Can Help You: Listen to The Business Show here.

• How the Wealthy Use HELOCs to Build Wealth and Protect Their Cash (Should You Have One?)

  In this episode of The Personal Finance Podcast, we break down everything you need to know about HELOCs (Home Equity Lines of Credit)—what they really are, how they differ from traditional mortgages, and why the popular "velocity banking" strategy to pay off your mortgage faster delivers minimal benefits with maximum complexity. We explore the math behind using a HELOC to chunk down mortgage payments versus simply making extra principal payments, revealing that the supposed benefits are often overstated and come with significant variable-rate risks that could jeopardize your home.
