In this special Halloween episode of Financing Ambition, listen to seven spooky stories of money mishaps that will shiver your wallet's spine – from mortgage nightmares and haunted credit scores to ATM machines that feast on debit cards in foreign lands. Hosted by Eric Sutton, with stories contributed by Laurel Road member advocates and team members.

Collectively, Drs. Tiffany Tavernier and David Thomas had an astonishing $1.2 million in student loan debt forgiven through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. While the two physicians have different medical backgrounds – Dr. Tavernier in radiology and Dr. Thomas in immunology – their individual student loan debt journeys share an common ground: Neither one had to make a single payment on their student loans prior to forgiveness. Learn about the unique set of circumstances and timing that made it possible in this episode, hosted by Eric Sutton, Laurel Road’s Head of Design & Content.
