“I went on a two-week-long road trip to ‘find myself’ one spring break. I was in a bad place mentally. I just spent whatever wherever because it made me feel happy. Ran up all my debit and credit cards straight to the limits.

Foolishness of youth. I have one more debt in collections that I will be paying off for years to come, but then I’m done.”
