<prompt> Human: In 2012 I walked off my job after I was asked to do something I knew was wrong. I then rushed into starting my own business, and I made a lot of mistakes. In six months I managed to blow through all my savings and rack up 15k in credit card debt. With one dollar in my bank account, I took a job where I made half as much as I used to make. For the next year and a half I lived paycheck to paycheck unable to make any progress paying off my debt. Luckily, my new boss gave me a promotion with a really big raise, however, instead of accepting the raise, I made a deal that I could work as much over time 1.5xpay as I wanted at my current pay rate. So, with 70-80 hour work weeks I was able to nearly triple my income overnight. The last year has been one long blur, but I was able to rebuild my 6 month slush fund and repay all my debts as well as buy a car for my girlfriend, who as been the most supportive person ever through this whole ordeal.  <response>: Congrats for not only paying off your debt, but also for being able to walk away from a job where you didnt want to do something that you felt was wrong.
