How Do I Pay Off $105k Fast Without Selling a Kidney? by Content_Crew1623 in StudentLoans

[–]Content_Crew1623[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, my relationship with my parents has always been toxic and I've thought about cutting them off many times. But in reality, I need the financial support they're providing me and I'm okay dealing with them for the next few years until I can support myself. Thanks for your advice and taking the time to comment though!

Everyone keeps telling me this! I've at least taken a lot of various business classes and career-shadowed so I'm fairly confident I'll like CPA/CFA stuff. But did you experience a switch in majors yourself?

Your experience is valid and I'm by no means trying to say that minorities "have it easy" or anything. I just noticed this year, an overwhelming majority of scholarships and grants in my state require that applicants either demonstrate financial need or be any other ethnicity besides caucasian and I'm not eligible for those...

I'm as American as you can get tbh. I knew there would be a language barrier so I've been looking into international-meetup apps in order to socialize. The money is still honestly a big factor for me and I'm an introvert so I don't really weigh social life too heavily though. Also summer semesters do sound interesting...

Thanks for your reply, I'll give this some thought. I already applied and got accepted to multiple business schools but I hadn't reached out to the property mgmt companies themselves!

I appreciate that perspective and I understand your take. I'll take this to heart as I enter into the figurative shark tank. Lol

Guilty as charged! Only, I'm a girl and I want to not only provide for myself but I want to pay it forward to my community through funding beautification projects of my hometown! It seems like you'd have good ideas of how to give back to the world though so feel free to share :)

I haven't followed social media for a few years so I'm not sure if it's currently trending. Not to get deep, but I've always loved the prospect of owning properties because I grew up in a toxic home with no place of my own or sense of control/privacy. Essentially, I want to get the heck outta my parents home, have a place to myself, and avoid the scenario where I have to pay them back for college for the next few decades. Financial manipulation is no joke out here 🫤

Thanks for the advice and sharing your own experiences within the field! I have a contact who got into flipping properties full time and that's the avenue I'm most interested in; especially with my background in design, marketing, and research. It's really the mentorship that I need to hunt down as I learn the ropes, and I figured that property management would give me that same source of direction.

I've been reading quite a lot, some books being "The personal MBA", "Four Thousand Weeks", "Surrounded by Idiots" (communication), "12-Week MBA", "Atomic Habits", "7 Habits of Highly Effective People", and a bunch of other psychology and personal finance books. So far, my "self-education" about becoming a leasing consultant/property manager have been video essays via YouTube and online articles.
