So, here's the deal. I'm 27, working multiple part time jobs with a total income just over $2,000 monthly. I have around 40k in student debt and haven't even begun to pay it off. I live in a pretty pricey area and most of my money goes to rent and living expenses.
When I graduated college my goal was to pay off my student debt within 3-4 years but that didn't happen. I moved back home to San Diego to help my dad out at the time who had just been diagnosed with cancer and finding a job was/is incredibly difficult. I knew it would be tough but damn.
I don't mean to sound whiney but that's the sitch. I just turned 27 and want to start a retirement fund/IRA or at least get an early start on a nest egg. I want to knock out my debt in a timely manner while retaining my savings and possibly start investing for the future.
This is my first time posting here so thanks in advance for the help and hopefully this isn't too little info for you guys.
