2 Years of Freedom
May 27, 2007
Two years ago today, I was pouring over my financial records, feeling the pressure of credit card debt and student loans piling ever higher. I was spending more than I made, I didn’t even know how to write let alone follow a monthly budget. I had $7,000 in student loans and close to another $1000 […]

Shortage of Posts
May 14, 2007
