Allie- “I just did a thing! A really big thing!! I just paid off my last credit card holding a balance from my grad school days! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Edited to add: Have been holding on to $12k in CC debt since 2012, ballooned to 17k in 2014, and only really got laser focused and started hacking away in 2016. Side hustles (dog walking, cat sitting, private clients) and joining my local Buy Nothing group really made a difference!” #moneywin
