Student loan debt is a big problem that’s getting bigger, affecting multiple aspects of an employee’s financial life, retirement saving being just one. Laurel Taylor is doing something about it. The MIT grad and CEO of innovative fintech firm FutureFuel.io is out to CRUSH student debt in the workplace and beyond.
Taylor joins us to discuss the scope of the problem, if it’s getting better or worse and how advisors can help. We also somehow drag the American Retirement Association’s Nevin Adams into all of it.
