This is so inspiring! Also my partner helped me to refocus my financial goals as well. I really have to sit down and write down how much I have to go but I believe I have somewhere around the $32,000 mark left. I just paid off a student loan this year which I am proud of but still chugging along.

I went to an expensive private art school so my loans were pretty high once I left. Currently I don't have a car because of the pandemic. I had the car already paid off but it helped to save on insurance payments every month. So I donated it (it was super old basically no real value). Now I'm focused on trying to use my bike more to get the essentials that I need day to day which also doubles as exercise points haha
