RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

...kind of a bummer that I can't tell anyone in my family because half of them (including my parents) will look at me like an ATM whose job it is to set myself on fire in order to keep them warm.

Nice! I've been working to pay off all of my debts as well. I got my student loans finished last year.

I had to take out a loan to get my roof put on, and if everything goes well, that'll be paid off towards the end of October.

After that, I'll only have my mortgage too. Feels good.

Well done!

I was fortunate to be able to do a bulk payoff of my student loans in 2023, not unlike what I did with this other loan this week. I bought some oil stock on the cheap in March 2020 and just waited for the travel industry to reopen.
