I Paid Off My $20k Debt & Learned To Live Again

“I would get small pay raises, but I still had to factor in monthly rent, student loans, groceries, and the personal loan I took out to move here in the first place — all while doing the things I needed to do for my job, like going out to network, buying clothes to wear on-camera, and making sure my nails and hair were always done and presentable. All these things began to add up, and I constantly swiped my credit card to make ends meet. Next thing I knew, I was in the negatives, maxing out my credit card, then paying it down a little bit just so that I could max it out again.”
