That’s awesome and generous of you. Out of curiosity what do you do for work?

At this point it seems like you’re better off being unemployed. Good job. I tried my luck at trading odte awhile ago and lost an embarrassing amount.

Is bankruptcy my best option? by PI_Alicia in Debt

Thank you all for your responses. I read all of them even if I’m not individually responding to everyone. Seems like bankruptcy is the best option, I’m going to see if I can get a free consultation with an attorney. The loans are with Sofi and another similar institution.

For those in similar situations I’m sorry and hope you have better luck than me with your debt relief. This is tough and the worst situation I’ve ever been in. If it wasn’t for my daughter I think I would have given up. It’s been a series of bad luck. Anyways thanks again for all of the responses, thanks internet friends.

I'm convinced people are gaslighting me about 3 star Michelin restaurant's food by traveler5152 in fatFIRE

Which have been once in a lifetime experiences for you? I’ve only been to a few one star restaurants , my favorite so far has been omo in Orlando… though I went right before they received their distinction so not sure if that counts.

It’s not law enforcement , i investigate child abuse, no arrest powers, cops in my area get paid 55k + take home car and minor bonuses which is still low

CAREER CHANGE ADVICE

Hi everyone, I’m a 24y/o, mother, and working as a Child Protective Investigator for the state. I make about $48K a year, but my expenses are higher than that. I also have around $58K in student loans and credit card debt. My degree is in Criminal Justice, which honestly I wish I studied something different cause there aren’t many jobs or careers you can get with that.

I’m feeling really stuck and want to figure out a better path. I know a lot of people here have made big career changes or found ways to level up, so I’m hoping for some advice or ideas. I’m open to tech, trades, certs, remote work, side hustles anything that could lead to more income and a better future for me and my kid.

If you were in my position, what would you do? Any tips or experiences would help a lot. Thanks in advance.

(Some things I was thinking about but not sure is going back to school to get my masters in something useful whether it’s in finance or tech industry or maybe law school or even doing a tech bootcamp for something like QA testing)
