Drowning in Debt While Chasing Career Dreams 😭

Hey everyone, I'm feeling completely overwhelmed and need some real talk from people who've been there. I'm 26 and working in marketing making $75k, but I'm drowning in $85k of debt from some absolutely terrible decisions I made early in my career. I got caught up in get-rich-quick schemes and high-risk investments using money I didn't have. 💸 Now I'm getting close to landing a $90k role, but my $1300 monthly debt payments are crushing me. I had to move back in with my parents just to survive financially. The worst part? Seeing colleagues my age buying homes and living their best lives while I'm stuck in this mess. I'm working on certifications to boost my career, but honestly, I'm wondering if I'll ever dig myself out of this hole. Has anyone else completely screwed up their finances early on and managed to turn things around? I'm desperate for hope right now. 😔 #CareerStruggles #DebtFree #FinancialRecovery #JobCareer
