Debt advise PLEASE!!!!
« on: July 29, 2015, 03:09:34 PM »
Hello everyone. I am new to this forum. My name is Kristen I am 28 and have competed in rodeos my whole life.
This being said I will be forever spending money because my horses are my kids and the one thing I enjoy & love.
Okay so now that's out of the way. I have a truck payment for another 3 1/2 years, & 20k in student loans.

For a single woman I make good money but I'm climbing out of a hole. Between my truck & trailer being stolen not once but twice and the insurance not paying for the 2nd one I have had to start over multiple times from scratch. I knew nothing about managing money, credit etc when I went to college at 17 & totally screwed up my credit. I am now trying to fix this and have been reading everything I can get my hands on about finances, get out of debt ideas and money saving ideas.

I know once I pay off my current loans I will not be getting back into anymore loans. I have a plan of buying an old airtstream travel trailer and fixing it up for 2 reasons; 1 being it will allow me to live simply and inexpensively 2 being airstreams once fixed up and fixed up nicely can be resold at a later date for the same if not more than what I will put in it.

I am interested in investing and anything ya'll can think. I am all ears for any and all advise, besides me selling my horse because he is my sanity through it all. :) Again any and all advise/suggestions are very much appreciated!

Don't invest till you pay your debts off. As the previous person said, we need more information before we can really help. Asking the questions though means you are moving in the right direction. :)
