How and why did you do it ?
Being financially responsible comes with age and wisdom. When you are young you make dumb decisions when it comes to money. You live and learn. Some people never learn.

And that was only one time because I was laid off back in 2008 due to my department being eliminated. Took classes and now have a solid IT job. There are times you stumble thru no fault of your own and need help...that happens. In addition I paid a lot of taxes prior to that big layoff.and living rent free in your mind

What line of work you working on getting into?I still haven't... LOL. I can't really afford to right now. But hopefully the job I get after school will allow me to pay off debts, get a house and save for retirement.

That’s good. My niece is an ER nurse and is finishing up her masters in public health and is in the running for public health director at the hospital she works at.Healthcare.

The ER is probably the most stressful environment to be a nurse. So kudos to her for handling that, as society depends on bad asses like her. Not sure what a Public Health Director does, but it sounds like more responsibility then I would want to take on. LOL
Congrats on fighting the demons and never letting them take control. Getting a handle on things before they got out of control is a wise move as life is too short to piss away.When I turned 30 I had an awakening, a come to Jesus moment, without the Jesus part, if you will. I've always held a steady job, made decent money, and had a strong work ethic, just never saved money well. Most of my money went to partying and drug addiction during my 20's. Well when I turned 30 years old I had a realization and knew shit had to change. Now, several years later I have a family, a great wife, an amazing little boy, house, typical "American dream" situation I guess. I still battle my demons and still have plenty to work on in the personal growth department, but over all life is good.

Look into Dave Ramsey's "financial peace". It's simple and it's GREAT advice. I recommend it to everyone.

A lot of people get too many handouts without paying shit though...I will take anything the government hands out. I've paid plenty to the feds.
People bitch and complain because Biden wants to help with student loan debt but fuck y'all and your high horse bullshit. They are using my own money.
Anyway, tangent
