Finally Paid Off $15k in Debt… Anyone Else Here Done This?

Debt Management
1

Hey everyone! I just finished paying off all my debts! Haven’t had the chance to really celebrate because work has been nonstop, but wow, it feels amazing! Now I can finally save up for my own place and maybe even a new car! If I can do it, you all can too. I was in about $15k debt, and now it’s all gone.

A bit of backstory: I’m terrible with money and maxed out my cards as soon as I got them. Took me 10 years, but here we are—debt-free!

Didn’t really have anyone to share this with, so thought I’d post it here!

You got this! Stick to a budget and make your payments on time. Little by little, you’ll see those debts shrink!

Don’t worry, you’ll build it back up faster now that you’re debt-free.

Honestly, I moved back with my parents and stuck to a strict budget. Having two jobs helped a lot too.

Just don’t close your cards! Keep a small balance to help with your credit.
