Ben Le Fort is a Canadian personal finance blogger on Medium. Ben has quite an interesting riches to rags to riches story. Ben had a comfortable upbringing – until the financial crisis happened. With no savings, both his parents, who were successful real estate agents at the time, were forced to file for bankruptcy. Despite the setback, Ben managed to pay off $50,000 in student debt and 2 houses in 4 years.
In my interview with Ben, we discuss tips for paying off student debt, the importance of having an emergency fund and DIY home renovations.
