Hello Friends. This Dear Debt Letter is from my blogging buddy and debt destroying partner in crime, Girl Meets Debt. Enjoy!
Dear Debt,
I honestly don’t know what my adult life would be like without you! Pathetic eh?
You and I met when I was just a young 18-year-old college student and together with my massive student loan we were the three inseparable musketeers! Shopping trips, expensive blonde salon highlights, Girls Night Out, manis/pedis, dinner, drinks, dancing, were just a few examples of the fun we had. Oh ya, somewhere in there I also graduated with 2 Bachelor’s Degrees before the age of 25. Two expensive pieces of paper worth a total of $45,000! The fun continued even after I graduated. The dependency on each other was becoming obvious. You were becoming “normal.”
Now I am a 30-year-old woman, recently engaged to a personal finance rock star (ohhhhh the irony!) that has been serious about “un-friending” you for the last 10 months and I think I am finally starting to see some hope. I just broke up with the loser $12,000 consumer leech, the same one that’s been following me around since I was 18 and I couldn’t feel more relieved. I’m still tackling my “it’s complicated” $45,000 student loan relationship with you but I’m no longer afraid. In fact, I’m going to make sure I do everything I can to break your interest-greedy heart.
Debt, you would think that I despise you, but guess what? I actually want to thank you for helping make me to be the strong financially empowered woman I am today.
Breaking up is hard to do so I thought I would make it interesting and blog about it. 😉
Sweetheart, you won’t know what hit you!
xoxo,
