Hey John,
Thank you so much for sharing that! I can relate to so much of what you said!
I was born in 87. I’m 31 years old now(32 in 3 months) and I still have around 70K dollars in debt. I’ve also tried to make more money from things in the internet, I also check my bank app so many times. I too keep potential things in arm’s length.
I was fortunate enough to start working as a software developer and earn a better salary than minimum wage but that only happened in 2017. my salary for 2016 was around 12K dollars.
It’s rough and I understand. Sending a hug if you accept it and cheering us both on.
We can do it.
