Val Breit

Val went from a clueless college student, who accumulated thousands of dollars in student loans, to learning about compound interest the hard way and feeling hopeless about her pile of debt. When Val switched gears to embrace the challenge of eliminating her college debt as fast as possible, amazing things started to happen.

As a public school counselor, Val proved you can get out of debt fast--even on a modest salary--if you create and stick to a plan. She shares that exact plan that got results in her book "Pay Your Student Loans Fast."

Val wrote her get out of debt book and started TheCommonCentsClub.com, a personal finance blog, to help more people experience the life-changing freedom that can result from paying off your debt early. Because she quickly eliminated her loans, Val was able to leave her 9-5 job to start her dream job as a work-from-home-mom, an online entrepreneur, editor, and author. She now embraces her "weird" debt-free lifestyle and shares her love for helping others reach their potential and win with money at www.TheCommonCentsClub.com.

Val's life transformation started with paying off her student loans, and she hopes debt does not stand in the way of you living your dream too.
