Hey guys I have been a lurker here for sometime, and figured I'd share a little of my story and tell you all thanks for the wealth of information I've uncovered from this subreddit.
A little over 2 years ago I was in a pretty rough spot, with over $20k in personal debt on top of $30k in student loans while being in school, and behind on all my bills, etc. I was depressed, stressed, and above all just angry at myself for the situation I put myself in.
Zip ahead until now, and from that point I made some big changes. I kept up with school, and moved back to my parents house while working full time. I have since paid off all of my personal debt this month, with a $0 balance on everything and also graduated college.
I got accepted to a university in KC for my masters that will begin in the fall, on top of a paid intern over the summer. I have reevaluated how I spend money, and have a small investment in my savings and only sitting at about $2k in my checking but for me that's huge!
Again, thank you all so so much!
