College Without Student Loan Debt

with Rachel Cruze
America’s collective student debt is at a staggering $1.2 trillion, but what’s the most disturbing part? Parents are unconcerned. That’s right—our culture has come to assume that the only way to put a child through school is to become burdened with debt at the age of 18, carrying the weight throughout the greater part of their adult lives. Author of Smart Money, Smart Kids Rachel Cruze says parents should train their children to budget and save early on to avoid this debt. Rachel—who started making appearances at money management talks with her father, Dave Ramsey, at age 15—joins us on the show to talk about how you can set your child up for financial success right now.

About Rachel Cruze

Rachel was born the year her parents, Dave and Sharon Ramsey, lost everything and filed for bankruptcy. She grew up watching the sacrifices they made, and she learned early how to save for the future, spend wisely, avoid debt, and give generously.

Rachel grew up hearing people tell her dad, “I wish I’d heard this message years ago.” That fueled her desire to reach people and share the hard lessons her parents learned. It became her passion. It’s why she spoke to audiences as large as 12,000 at the age of 15, and why she travels the country today encouraging audiences ranging from universities and nonprofits to corporations and associations.
