Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “A man in debt is so far a slave” and it is true. I would have never imagined myself in credit card debt at such a young age but it has happened and because of it, I have overcome many obstacles that were put in my path. I have dealt with an immense amount of stress and new responsibilities that I wasn’t quite ready for. Being in debt has changed me for the better.
