one thing i haven't talked about much is the issue of debt
for me this is in the form of student loans i am not a very money oriented person in general.. for me.. money is just something u want to have but a lot of things are more important than money (such as your relationship with God) and also i think if you have what u want then the rest tends to be a mere greed or 'keeping up with the joneses' for example: you have a car but now u want a nicer car.. you have a house but now u want a bigger house.. God gave you a nose but now u want a different nose.. a lot of these things are unnecessary.. a lot of people can't see when to "stop" u know what i mean? but still i will admit money is important enough to be something to think about i personally have a plan for getting out of my student loan debt.. this idea came from a blog i saw online one day some chick was talking about how she graduated and realized she had a lot of debt she just basically took drastic measures to pay her debt off she sold everything she had, moved out of her apartment so she wouldn't have to pay rent, she got 2 full-time jobs, she got a gym membership and just worked all the time, only stopping to sleep in her car the gym membership is what she used so she had access to showers she had NO down time or anything.. but the thing was she paid her debt off in a matter of months.. in 'normal' circumstances it would've taken her like 30 years or something absurd like that its amazing the power of the written word because the ideas expressed in that blog have never left my head ever since i read it years ago i plan to do the same thing she did when the time comes i'm not afraid of it or anything.. with me being single and not having kids, it doesn't seem risky, it just seems smart.. like its just an opportunity to wipe the slate clean on my life once i graduate btw, this method is also biblical since the bible says this: "if you have come into your neighbor's power (aka if you are in debt to a person or company) do this my child: give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber, save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter" proverbs 6:1-5 ^note that was paraphrased and possibly even taken out of exact context but i tend to believe some things in the Bible can apply to a multitude of situations.. and i see this as saying: if you find yourself in debt, drop everything and free yourself.. vigorously work to free yourself from your debtors so this is my plan basically... to just sacrifice everything in order to put myself in a better situation btw.. if anyone wants to find that old blog.. i am pretty sure i can find it again.. if u want me to find it and give u the link let me know.. her story was very impactful
