Student Loan

The problem of paying student loans has been looming over me for years. Deference have carried me through two years of unemployment, but now I make an income and need to stop hiding from this issue.This year I'm going to start making it a priority to get it paid off, and get the interest down before it comes into repayment.

 I am also wanting to put money in savings and actually have something there in case I need it later. Twice have I stared out the window of a friend or my mom's care, without a penny to my name and wondered what was I gonna do, how I would start over with my life.

Its frightening to be so dependent on others, and to realize how fragile your life really is. Everything can be gone in an instant, before you even know what's happening. At some point, denial no longer wonks and the reality of the situation finally starts setting in.

Its going to be hard. I don't even make minimum wage, and can only put about 300 on my bill a month, but that's better then nothing. I hope to be debt free by 2020, but if not, then so far along that I'll be debt free by 35. I don't want my thirties and forties haunted by debt.
