I was 22 when I signed for my student loans.


I didn’t fully understand interest. I just knew I needed the degree to get the job to build the life.
So I signed.
Now I’m in my 30s. I’ve paid $400 every single month without missing one. I’ve sacrificed vacations, a newer car, a bigger place.
And my balance has barely moved.
I did what they told me to do.
I went to school. I got the degree. I got the job. I pay my bills.
And I am still drowning in the same debt I had at 22.
Nobody warned me it would be like this.
Nobody.
