So you may have noticed that I haven't
talked much about money here on the
channel and that was on purpose. See the
reason is because I've always made an
effort to never talk about something
that I don't know anything about or
haven't experienced myself and this
stands true for every topic that I share
whether it's poetry or non poetry like
this one. However I can officially say
with all of the excitement that flows
through me that as of December 31st 2019
I am officially debt free meaning I am
starting this new year off on a fresh
note financially with absolutely no debt. 
 Now over the course of the last 12
months I paid off $23,000 in outstanding
student loan debt that I still had left
after graduating in 2015 and personally
I gave up a lot in did a lot in order to
accomplish this so quickly but there was
one thing in particular that really
kick-started this journey for me and
that thing was more of a mindset and
that mindset was my ignorance.
Particularly my ignorance around
thinking that debt was just always going
to be there or everyone has it so it's
"normal" right but the truth
is it's not normal and everyone doesn't
have it and it's only there because we
choose to keep it around right.
I remember making this mindset shift in my
life at the beginning of this year from
thinking you know why do I want to go to
work every day to make an income just so
I can make payments right instead where
that income should be used to live life,
build wealth and give right and now that
I'm debt-free
I'm so so so excited about this part of
my journey and I'm also really excited
to start sharing more of this with you
as I continue to learn and grow on this
part of my life as well and it's crazy
you know I'm officially debt free and I
really hope that it encourages you to do
the same on your journey and in your own
life as well. If it's your first time tuning in and you enjoyed this make
