I’m not sure if this even belongs here but I’m not sure where else to submit this and I need to get it off my chest.
About 9 years ago, I had a pretty bad break-up with someone that I cared a lot for. We had dated for almost four years and it through me into a deep depression. But that’s for another sub. But because of this, I was mentally unable to work. Without income, I relied heavily on credit cards to pay for everything I needed, and being young and irresponsible, things I didn’t need. It didn’t take long until I amassed thousands of dollars in credit card debit. I was also forced to leave the apartment which I had just moved into just a few months prior.
With no money coming in and using the credit cards, I was unable to pay towards anything. My debt was incredibly high, credit rating in the low 400’s and with the threat of being homeless, I thought there was no way out and it was the end of the road for me.
Fast forward almost ten years later. I am out of that hole. Logging as many work and OT hours as possible, saving every penny that I could; all my debt is paid. I got married (not to the girl previously mentioned. Someone way better), new car and a puppy, rebuilt my credit score to 798. And in one week from today, we will be homeowners.
I took the time the other day to reflect on how far I’ve come and I’m proud of myself and beyond excited to begin the life as a homeowner.
