Getting Out of Debt by living like a Ghetto College Student
2007-04-21 17:26:00 When I was in college, I was flat ass broke. I lived in a crappy low income apartment where I heard occasional gunshots, drove an even crappier gas guzzling rusty Taurus, smoked Dorals and lived on Ramon noodles and spaghettios. Every semester I would twitter away my financial aid by living above my means and then when I was broke again, I’d apply for a credit card. Partly why I had such a hard time living frugally was because I was also a thriving musician and young mom who felt guilty if I couldn’t take my daughter to see a new movie or buy her a brand new outfit once in awhile. Working for an airline in college didn’t help either because I was able to fly anywhere I wanted to for FREE but ended up using credit cards to pay for hotels and food. A few years later after graduating, I landed a job with a modest income of 35K as a graphic/web designer, started earning decent cash freelancing but was still carrying around that old debt. At first I was so excited about... More About: Living , College , Student , Debt , Ghetto
