Suffer now to live better later. That's what I did - you have the power to control your debt. School loans- lesser it by picking a public university credit cards- don't buy everything that looks cute car debt- no need to be too flashy Watch your debt/income ratio! That's what I did, no regrets. You do all of that and you will NOT be so called STRAPPED! Well everything takes some sacrifice. Suffer now to live better later.

School loans- lesser it by picking a public university

credit cards- don't buy everything that looks cute

car debt- no need to be too flashy

Watch your debt/income ratio!

That's what I did, no regrets. You do all of that and you will NOT be so called STRAPPED!

If you want something bad enough, you make sacrifices to get it. I lived in a CLOSET (walk-in, but still) for the first 1 1/2 years I lived in Seattle just to be able to live below my means, live where I wanted, and save money. Just found you blog, btw, when I googled 'Restricted Stock Units'. I'll be back, good stuff here! :-) I still have yet to meet someone who doesn't have fat in their budget when they are bellyaching about not being able to afford what they need.
