The Politics of Student Debt Forgiveness - WCI Podcast

Today Dr. Dahle opens by talking about the state of governmental student loan repayment programs and whether or not they are likely to be around for long. We then get into answering a variety of your questions including if a physician loan is a good idea, how to evaluate real estate deals, when it is a good idea to pay off your mortgage, if nursing home insurance is a good idea and when to let your disability policy lapse. We even discuss if it is a reasonable idea to leave your money to the government when you die. There is something for everyone today!
