It’s taken up to a couple of months ago to clear that debt, every bonus and all the overtime I did between then and recently went on getting rid of that debt, I finally feel free to look at my future as an independent individual

I filed for divorce from my ex wife and we split the debt evenly, at the time I felt ashamed that I had to walk out and was the lesser person for it but years later I know better and I am a better person for it
