Solo debt free screamers are always awesome! This young lady lived with roommates (didn't move back home), increased her income by temporarily taking a 2nd job and putting in crazy OT and nighttime hours at her primary job for 5 years (persistence!) and knocked her debt OUT! How satisfying. I've noticed with coupled screamers, the debt loads are typically lopsided (where one of the partners carries the majority of the debt load.) Most debts would be easy to pay if one had a responsible (and well paid) husband/wife that was willing to help. Maybe that should be the new baby step #1: Find rich domestic partner... Extra kudos to this young lady and all the other solo debt free screamers.
