LALS #005 - The Two-Income Trap

The Life After Law School Podcast

This episode discusses how human expectations have driven the costs of certain, high-value assets like housing and education to unsustainable levels.  The title and concept come from the book The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Parents are Going Broke by Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi.  I simply see a similar trains of circumstances relating to new lawyers and their law school debt as the authors lay out between two income families and bankruptcy.
