Growing up without financial guidance is the biggest hurdle you have to overcome. I mean how can you discuss budgeting when you don't even know what it means? As I got older and could afford to branch out and look for money saving tips, I always rested on the idea that well I should just make it big and all my problems would be solved. At this point I’m sitting here still waiting for my big break and am singing... the sun will come out... TOMORROW??? Or at least I’m hoping for a helpful strategy that will allow me to pay off my loans.

I got a secured credit card and have been paying that in full, faithfully. I am at 675. Not fantastic but a lot better than where I was. Do I regret the loan? Sometimes. But what's done is done. The situation made me budget better, save more and be more judicious about how much help I can give. I can't strengthen my brother if I am not strong first. In a couple of years the charge off will fall of my credit report. Lessons learned will stay with me. 

⁠⁠⁠May your college memories last as long your student loan payments.
