FB NOTES
Not a small amount by any means, but I cleared everything except $15,000 in loans before I started making $110 – $130 an hour. I never used to make this kind of cash.
But I managed to clear the bulk of my loans ($44,000 worth) with a wage of $65,000 a year.
I scrimped, I saved, I budgeted, tracked expenses and I was very lucky in terms of my career, job’s benefits and flexibility especially in the market that we’re experiencing right now.
One day, I will write the whole story out in detail…. I have a post coming up on this, when I get around to writing it.
And I’ll even have pretty graphs!!
