Hey guys!

I am, sadly, a recent college graduate. I say sadly because I now have $66K in student loan debt for a degree I don’t plan to use at all because my young mind was molded to believe it was what I needed. Luckily, I am out of that mindset and I am moving to live the rest of my days Unscripted and with the Fastlane mentality.

So, my question is this:
How do I go about handling student loan payments (that due to COVID now begin in September of this year) while trying to kick off my Fastlane hustle?

I want to be investing as much time and money as needed into my hustle, but have this massive debt I also need to worry about soon here. I currently work stocking groceries for a modest $15/h and I’ve been able to survive off of it.

My current plan of attack is to be making minimum payments on my loans to reserve as much money as I can to invest into my ventures. Then, when my Fastlane hustle attracts the wealth I want, I can use that to financially free myself and pay off the loans. I am just very new to all of this and want to make sure I’m putting my best foot forward and doing things right. So I would like to hear from anyone willing to offer advice! Thank you all in advance and have a great day!

PS I know this is not necessarily prevalent information, but I’ve started “Unscripted ” today, and I am loving it already. 8 chapters in and it’s already speaking volumes to me.
