<prompt> Human: This is for anyone who cared enough to read the original thread: I wanted to thank everyone for the help and the words. Sometimes it feels harsh and you feel like youre letting yourself down.I kicked my own ass for the past 3 months. I had days where I slept in cars and where I didnt eat. I had days where depression got the best of me and I wasnt able to follow my financial plan. It got bad but I had a goal. As of yesterday I am a store manager. I am in the process of signing for my apartment but this job is more than double the pay and double the hours. You guys played a huge part in my motivation! Thank you so much! Edit: I do realize that I still have debt. I still have a lot of things to catch up on BUT I just wanted to post this now because its a huge step for me and Im more motivated than ever to do things I love as well as be more responsible and learn how to financially support myself better. I have financial goals now. I have a better budget and a way to save money. Im getting there.  <response>: Congrats! Keep up the good work!
