Hey debt fighters! We have another dear debt letter from Erin! Erin Salazar is a member of the Money Makers Academy and has been working diligently to organize and pay off her debt. With her newfound confidence and knowledge that she has gained through the program, she now has a plan to pay off over 10k in credit card debt by the end of 2019.
Dear Debt,
We’ve had some fun. We went to a lot of cool places and bought a lot of cool things but overall you weren’t worth it. As I am about to leave my 20s to head to my 30s I don’t want you around anymore. Therefore I am breaking up with you once and for all. Thank you for the times but I’m living a much simpler life that has no room for you.
Goodbye and sincerely,
Erin
