As a starter, I’d gladly undergo difficult experiences. I know this will equip me with right perspective and skills in dealing more tough trials in the future. Just learn from it even those small ones. Thanks for the post!

Love this post! Small progress is progress…changing your financial habits or any for that matter is a slow and consistent process. You just have to keep building. I’ve learned that setbacks are part of the process and sometimes you don’t learn so well the first time around.

It’s inspiring to relive those steps of your journey with you. The first step is the hardest but most important, they eventually get easier but you have to keep at it. No quick fixes for sure – just lots of good decisions one day at a time!

I love the idea of taking small steps to achieve goals. This goes to show you that it really is all about discipline and staying motivated. For most people, it’s not about knowing what to do, it’s about doing it. If someone starts putting in the time, they will see the results! Great story!

Definitely agree, I did the same thing with my emergency fund. As soon as I got my full time job, $25 of every paycheck went straight to my emergency fund and now I’ve built it up to 5% of my income automatically goes to that account, I never see it in my checking account. My next step to increase that amount is that for every 2 debts I pay off, I get it increase it by 1%. A lot of little steps will take you a lot farther than one big jump at a time, slow and steady wins the race.

Experience especially bad ones really teaches something useful for the future! It was a good perspective of you that you used your experiences so that you could climb up and come out of debt. I agree with you that we should take even smaller steps to move forward, which is really important for everyone. Very inspiring story!

I absolutely love this post. Wonderful story, beautifully written. There are no quick fixes in life. Anything worth having is worth working for. I think you have to work hard to truly appreciate what you have in life. It builds character.

You can do a lot with $25. That is the amount my parents saved each month since I was born and after 18 years and compound interest it paid for most of my college. It may feel like a small amount, but over time it cam be a big deal. Nice job.
