Here are a few things that Anthony shares in this episode: How he got $35,000 in debt in college even though he didn’t need a penny for his education.  The importance of taking responsibility for your financial situation instead of blaming it on others.  What “dream home” means to him (and it’s probably not what you think). Why your focus might need to be on increasing your income and not just reducing your expenses. The three things that parents and students need to focus on when planning for college and careers. What the financial conversations that he has with those in his life look like now.
