I am 25 years old, and a few months ago, I had over $23k in debt.

Last October, I decided I wasn't going to live like that anymore. I realized debt was definitely not going to bring wealth. So, I lived with my mother for six months and paid off every account!

I look forward to getting my own place soon, being 100% debt free with a hefty emergency fund, and owning my own home. I am a 25-year-old single mom and college student, and I am debt free!
