You are paying for a lot of ppl to go to college who will not use their degrees or even stay in the country that paid for that degree. And is mandatory. In the US people have choices; unfortunately, they've been steered towards the high debt route, but it is a choice...

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time." "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" The Book of Truth

After divorce, the household income dropped by 2/3rds but I still had a ton of debt to pay off, both from before and during the divorce. I was grateful for people who gave hand me down clothing. I have a neighbor who tipped me $20 when I went grocery shopping. I saved everything I could, and like you, paid the debt off in chunks. Last summer, I wrote a check for the last $12000 I owed. It was magical! Since then, I've graduated community college, debt free, gotten a much better paying job, and I'm about to get a new roof on my house. Paid in cash. And don't tell the kids, but since they're so amazing, I've been saving enough to get them gaming laptops for Christmas! 🥰 100% budgeted for.

About two years ago I found myself $35,000 in debt, majority credit cards. We were days away from filing bankruptcy when I just had this really strong feeling to push through it and intensely commit myself to paying it off. I cut all of our expenses to the bare bones minimum. Our last payment is in about 10 days. We paid off $35,000 in about 18 ish months. And we don’t get paid a ton but have decent jobs, the biggest thing was cutting our expenses and living on about half of what we make and commiting the rest to debt. It was worth the experience just for the lessons. I can’t wait to buy my husband a second pair of jeans, or some furniture for our empty apartment 🤣

Didn't care about what school my friends went to or where they were at. Patience is a virtue to what I have to sacrifice now. Totally worth the wait!

I unknowingly was doing the chunking method myself! It feels way more satisfying to see the balance significantly drop. I'm sure some people har disagree, but there's also the psychology of the fact tat money isn't going to loans when you are moving it around. It does provide a cushion, and when the cushion gets big enough, you can chunk it into a debt payment.

Depends on the relationship between both people. I love my mom but as I got older and experienced living away from her in my own space, moving back in is a sacrifice. The relationship is better when we’re not living under the same roof so it’s definitely a sacrifice IMO.

Not sure where to recommend this, but since you tried to 'cold shower' challenge for a month, I would love to see a video from you about a 'barefoot shoe' challenge, seems like something that you would enjoy researching and would be right up your alley. Recently I have started researching all about barefoot walking, running, and the benefits after you have trained to use your feet again. It was so captivating that I went and bought my first pair of "Vivobarefoot" shoes and I'm eagerly awaiting their arrival. Edit: I sent an email to you about the subject! the email address should be pretty easy to identify.
