Congrads on getting rid of the CC debt. That is a burden to get out of the way and now you can concentrate on other matters, as well as should have less stress now. Now that you reached a goal, are you going to reward yourself at all?

Hey! Way to go! At least your numbers are going up … I just signed up for the networth calculator thing and my numbers are depressing. Hopefully someday I can have numbers that are positive … like you.

Also, congrats on paying off all your credit card debt!!

Congratulations on the progress. It is good to see people overcoming debt and making progress toward the financial life even during their college years. Thanks for putting this out there.

@katie: You’re spot on - I’m a RITter! Actually, the REPORTER did a story about me and this site at the beginning of last year - kinda bizarre, and I had no idea they were going to make it the cover story when they interviewed me! There are little things about RIT littered throughout this blog - kind of like an easter egg hunt for people in the know!

hi there- i just came across your blog. and it’s very motivating. are you attending RIT by any chance? i saw your “things to do in rochester” and your mentioning of being a film student, so i was just wondering. i graduated 2 years ago [from rit] with an art degree and a graduate degree- i’m barely able to make my loan payments, so i’ve racked up an insane credit card balance paying for things like groceries and car repairs. last week though, i cut up all of my credit cards. my total balance is frightening, but i feel much better knowing i simply cannot add to it anymore. your blog will serve as even more motivation for me to get my financials in place. long comment, i know, sorry! thanks for writing!
