About The Author
I’m a 20-something year old gal living in Kansas City. I have a business degree and am currently studying for the CPA exam. I paid off $26,000 in debt (student loans, car loans, credit cards) in 3 years. I am currently debt-free and it is the most liberating feeling in the world!
Other tidbits about me? I workout frequently, love fashion but don’t know much about it, eat out regularly, have a penchant for goal-setting, despise cooking, dream big, wish everyday was a summer day, and calculate my net worth much too often.
I plan to spend the rest of my life debt-free (except for a mortgage) and vow to never finance a car ever again.
My biggest goal right now is saving up an emergency fund (complete!) and a 20% (or more!) down payment on a house.
