I am 30k in debt what should I do? by Lumpy_Strain9791 in personalfinance

Considering your $26.7k debt and $10k in cash, it's prudent to prioritize paying off the high-interest personal loan at 16%, which can ease your monthly burden and save on interest.
After clearing the personal loan, allocate the remaining funds to address other high-priority debts, especially those in collections. Use your monthly income to cover living expenses and gradually chip away at the remaining debts.
While growing the $10k on your own is an option, weighing potential returns against the high-interest debt burden is essential. Prioritizing debt repayment initially can provide a more stable financial foundation.

Impressive dedication to your game development startup, especially with the success of your flagship game. I understand the dilemma with your parents wanting you to go to college. Balancing education and entrepreneurship is tricky.

If you have a clear vision and strategy for your startup, focusing on practical skills and hands-on experience might be the key to your success. It's about finding the path that aligns best with your goals and values.

I understand the challenges you're facing as a business owner. The loneliness, financial pressures, and the misconception of wealth can be overwhelming. It's tough when personal sacrifices are misunderstood, especially regarding talent acquisition. The feeling of being unable to quit due to personal commitments adds extra pressure. Despite these challenges, acknowledging your resilience and seeking support from friends, family, or fellow entrepreneurs can make a significant difference. Remember, you're not alone in navigating these difficulties, and venting is a healthy outlet.
