I wrote an eBook to help you tackle debt (it's free)

A few weeks ago, I shared my story about battling $250k in student loans, and I was overwhelmed by all of you who reached out to share your own experiences. Many of us in the IndieHacker community carry massive debt burdens, yet few talk about it openly.

For years I also struggled with this privately. I had no idea what to do to change my situation, and I often felt hopeless. I just hoped the government would step in and bail me out. This head-in-the-sand approach only made matters worse as my loans continued to compound.

When I got serious about getting debt free, I looked everywhere for help and ended up reading legislation, personal finance books, listening to podcasts, talking to financial advisors, etc. Now, I'm combining all of that learning and the tools that worked for me into a step-by-step guide called Loankit (link - https://gumroad.com/nickfogle#RZPSo).

I'm far more interested in getting this to people who need it than generating profits. This is the book I wish someone had given me back when I felt hopeless and stuck under a quarter million in student loan debt. I’ve listed Loankit for sale with a “pay what you want” price tag. Feel free to use the promo code, 'bootstacker', if you don’t want to pull out your credit card for the $1 minimum.

If you don't have student loans, but you know someone who does, please share this with them. There are $3.2 million borrowers with 6-figure student loan balances. If this isn't you, odds are still high that you have a friend or family member feeling the pressure.

    Wow, that's what I looked for. I'm the first time in debt, so wanna learn how to escape from it as quickly as possible. I wasn't that prudent this summer and had to get a loan. It was probably a bad decision because after 2 weeks I was fired from my job. Almost got another one but they will pay me only at the end of the month. I've tried to find many tips and found some at https://yourmoneygeek.com/how-to-get-out-of-debt-fast/ blog. Fortunately, there are some interesting pieces of advice from the author. I hope I'm gonna earn a lot this month and get out of this.
