Hi, I thought Id share my story for others in the same boat to reflect upon. It all started in my college years. I went away to college having the time of my life, but that also meant taking out college loans to cover the costs of, of course tuition but also living expenses that seemed to add up. I was able to move in with my boyfriend once I graduated but things turned ugly and it didnt work out. I had a really good job at the time that I didnt want to leave so I found an apartment and went on living that way. To make a long story short, my debt has skyrocketed through the roof my first 6 months in the apt. I had to quit my job and move back home. It was a struggle because I didnt want to be where I was before I left for college but I learned a lot and bust my butt to pay off my debt. I learned a lot from the web. I am months away from finallly being debt free, but I found that home is where my heart is and where I belong. I am staying in my hometown but moving into my own place once I get out of debt. I set goals and strive to achieve them. For all those hopeless people out there or think their debt isnt a problem, think again. Although having debt was a horrific experience, it also taught me a few things about myself so I figure just as long as I get out, and get where I want to be, I'll be ok.
