<prompt> Human: Two years ago after graduating University with a degree in history, I found my options rather limited. Studying history was a mistake I regret every day. When I was in school, I was irresponsible and maxed my line of credit which was shared with my parents. Its balance was 25,000 at the time of graduation. I also had 2,000 in credit card debt as well. As of Friday, I am officially debt free. Not only that, but Ive learned a few things from this subreddit along the way. I have close to 5k in my rrsp, and 2k in an ING direct account for emergency purposes. Looking forward, I will be investing into my future. I will be attending college in September and looking forward to starting a new career in the IT field after graduation. Between now and then, I will be saving for tuition and investing more heavily in both my RSP and TFSA. Cheers from Canada I hope the snow melts soon  <response>: What an accomplishment! You have done yourself a huge favor. This reminds me of the It took a year of hard work, but I have lost 100 pounds type posts on rloseit. Same principle, do something a little structured and uncomfortable over an extended period of time and set yourself free for the future. Then live your future according to what you have learned. Congratulations!
