RE: Advice I'd Give My Younger Self (LOH Contest 191)

in #ladiesofhive5 months ago

You've had some financial fun over the years it sounds like. Bankruptcy really can be a godsend to those deep in debt, it's wrong that they won't discharge student loans though...

There are many things I would tell the younger me, like don't get married... You've had a hard go with some tough problems. I'm glad you're still above the grass, that's always a good thing. Body perception and eating disorders are hard to overcome, I'm glad you pulled through. It's a shame you can't get back the retirement funds though!

Indeed. And the whole student debt situation is just messed up, to my mind. I got lucky and didn't accumulate any of that, but many younger folks will be saddled with ridiculous amounts for the better part of their lives.

I hear you on the marriage thing as well. Never gonna make that mistake again. 😅

Sounds like you had the same luck I did with marriage. I should have listened to Al Bundy from Married with Children, his advice to his son was "never marry"!
