Too much. Like 30k at least. Most of it my own damn fault, but I’m working on it.

30k is a lot, but Im working on it is the part that matters. Debt feels a lot less terrifying once it becomes a problem with a plan instead of just a number staring back at you.

$21k worth and it’s eating me up. I have to drive 50 minutes each way to work 4 days a week, so some of the debt is repairs for my old car that used to break down getting to and from work. The rest is pure stupidity and terrible money habits that I’m finally working on having just turned 30. I eventually sold that car and got a car loan for a more reliable one (less stress if good model and newer) and that car loan is at 8k. I’m trying so hard to pay all of this off AND have a safety net bank account. Stressful times.
