Goodbye Friends!

I think this is goodbye. Today, I’ve made my final student loan payment. I’ve owed $148k and paid off in 3.5 years (Covid pause helped me saved money) and the last few months I put in about 2/3 of my paycheck towards it. I am a pharmacist. This subreddit has been part of my journey for so long; to everyone who helped answer questions, shared your stories, celebrated your milestones, or simply posted something that gave me hope on a difficult day, thank you. It feels surprisingly bittersweet to close this chapter as I’m deeply grateful for this community. The political uncertainty, stress, confusion; yet we went through together so I didn’t feel alone. I’m leaving this subreddit with a very full heart. Signing off from the student loan trenches. I’ll see you guys on the other side, not if, when! ☝️
