I can’t imagine 40k in credit card debt, but there was a time when I was 40k underwater with my home and had insane law school tuition bills for my wife all while I was unemployed when the oil field had crashed.

To get out of that, I worked 18 hours a day drivIng a cab and then worked as a bartender.

Eat a whole lot of Ramen and peanutbutter. I was spending more money on food for my dog than food for me.

Rented out rooms in my house.

Same deal with credit cards on top of it?

Student debt just surpassed the country’s credit-card debt for the first time

I can't even begin to imagine...

That's me and my cats. They are my one indulgence.
