Should I Chase My Dreams or Crush My Debt? 🚦

Life really knows how to throw curveballs, huh? After a car accident (not my fault, for once), I’m about to get a settlement of $40k–$45k. Sounds like a blessing, but now I’m stuck at a crossroads: Do I finally wipe out my $8k student loans, $11.6k car loan, and $3k CareCredit, and breathe easy for the first time in years? Or do I stash some away for emergencies and go all-in on my dream—flight school? Becoming a commercial pilot has always been my wild ambition, but the total cost is sky-high ($70k–$90k), so I’d still need more funding down the road. If you were me, would you play it safe and get debt-free, or risk it all to chase a dream? Is it reckless to bet on myself, or is it finally time? Let’s be real—what would you do? 🤔✈️ #CareerChoices #DebtFreeJourney #LifeDecisions #JobCareer #Career
