Youthfully helps students of their own, boasting some of the highest success rates to the world’s top employers and universities, thanks to its unique, holistic approach that crafts the whole student. They also help career centers at universities, admissions consulting firms, and tutoring or counselling organizations optimize and scale their coaching functions using Youthfully's technology and systems. Joel's career began in management consulting, but his path quickly veered towards education and tech with the launch and subsequent sale of his first company, CampusRankings, in 2016. He’s a former college professor, and has led workshops at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the University of Toronto, the African Leadership Academy, and other leading institutions.

  • Popular Debt Management Strategies.

    1. Debt Settlement:

    Debt settlement involves negotiating directly with creditors to pay a reduced amount on your credit card debt. It's not guaranteed to be accepted by lenders and can negatively impact your credit score. It's not the quickest method and typically involves fees ranging from 15% to 25% of the settlement amount.

    2. Credit Counseling:

    Credit counseling is suitable for those who can manage their debt but need some guidance. Credit counselors educate and help devise personalized debt management strategies. Although many offer a free initial session, ongoing services may involve fees. The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) and the Financial Counseling Association of America (FCAA) offer accredited counseling services, potentially including free options.

    3. DIY Debt Management:

    This approach involves handling debt reduction personally, without professional assistance. It's a cost-effective method where individuals create budgets, cut expenses, and monitor their credit reports for errors. It's suitable for those comfortable with managing their finances independently.

    4. Debt Consolidation Loan:

    Debt consolidation loans combine multiple debts into a single loan with potentially lower interest rates and one monthly payment. This can simplify debt management and reduce the number of payments. However, there might be origination fees, and the loan term could extend the debt repayment period.

    5. Credit Card Balance Transfer:

    This strategy involves transferring existing debts to a new credit card that offers lower interest rates, often with a 0% APR introductory period. It's a popular method among Americans for managing credit card debt and can provide significant interest savings during the introductory period. Websites like Nerdwallet offer resources to find suitable balance transfer cards.
