That calm is a great thing isn't it? I am so glad you found it and rode it out until it worked out on your terms… so hard to do sometimes!

Thanks for sharing, Kimberlee. I'm struggling with debt myself right now, and your post is a great reminder to trust and charge onward!

As I was reading this, I was thinking, “I can't believe she's letting everyone know about her financial problems.” The sad thing is, so many people consider those with financial problems irresponsible. I'm actually more impressed by someone who has the strength to make it through hardship, keep her head up, and keep going than I am by someone who appears to have everything together but actually had invisible safety nets and bailouts along the way. There are tons of people with perfect credit who would've crumbled under the pressure you've endured. It sounds like you've made some mistakes (denial) along the way, but you also mentioned in the comments that your family has a poverty consciousness that I'm glad you recognize and are working through. Oh, and one final thing – graduate school and financial pressure do NOT mix well. Unless you're going to school for a field that automatically makes a ton of money upon graduation, it's just not worth it. I deeply enjoy what I study, but there is absolutely no way I would have made the financial sacrifice if I had it do over again.

Ha! I wish. I'm working on designing my life and making it what I'd like it to be. I suppose that's what its all about, right?
