Are you curious about how to rise to the top 10% of your class and become a member of the law review? Or how law school exams differ from undergrad? How to become debt-free as a recent law school graduate? How about how to avoid debt before you even get into law school?Today's guest covers it all. Cindy Zuniga-Sanchez grew up the daughter of immigrants living in a one bedroom apartment in the Bronx with her parents and sisters. She attended undergrad on a full scholarship (including room and board), but by the time she graduated law school — with a partial scholarship, at the top 10% of her class, and as a member of the law review — she had accumulated over $215,000 debt. In our conversation, Cindy shares how she went from over $200,000 in debt to debt-free in 4 years, why she left a $300,000+ salary, along with the prestige and security of a BigLaw associate position, to bet on herself by expanding her own personal finance business. She wrote the book on financial freedom and generational wealth, literally, but started her journey with a simple google search: "how can I get out of debt?". Cindy shares insights from a path spanning from premed to interning for Hilary Clinton and Senator Chuck Schumer to creating her brand, ZeroBasedBudget, which has over 65,000 followers on Instagram and has been featured in national publications including Forbes, Business Insider, and Bloomberg Opinion. She has also been featured in national and local television including Good Morning America, The Rachael Ray Show, and Telemundo. She is incredibly humble and insightful. Whether you're prelaw, a recent law school graduate, or a seasoned attorney, this is not an interview you want to miss. Time stamps:+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
