Reply #20: Wanting to avoid enormous debt

[davidthegnome]

Is what, so far, has kept me out of college. Although I do have a medical debt (somewhere around 10 grand) I have very little overhead for my business. I'm a middle man for the most part, trying to connect buyer and seller. It was something my Father suggested when he didn't think my future looked very bright. He's helping me out with it - I do owe him a few hundred dollars, which I intend to repay as soon as I can.

For me, it's not so much about doing something I love, it's about finding a (reasonably) practical method to eventually find financial security. Some times I feel as if I could easier jump over the moon - but there it is. Can't say I'm pleased with the way things have gone for me so far, but even if given a choice to do things over again, I don't know what I would do differently. For the most part, the things I love can't gain me any financial profit. Or if they can, I haven't yet figured out how.

I am educated enough to know I'm expendable.
