Dimes — I too met my husband in college.

California Money Musings — I think living in a group house was the factor that motivated me to save money. My living arrangments were cheap but certainly not ideal. I think a little struggle and strife can be the key to financial restrain. The more I strive for change in my life, in this case my housing situation, the more I’m determined to save.

In my case, getting married was a terrible financial decision, as my husband began to see me as his sugar mama.

That's amazing you were able to buy a house and pay off your car payments in a year!

You're really disciplined. What motivated you to do all of that? I interned all through college also and it was a really valuable experience. I gained more skills and experience in my field when I started job hunting.

The only reason my attending a private university paid off is in that I met my spouse there, and if I’d gone anywhere else I wouldn’t have met him. The loan debt is definitely daunting but I’m taking care of it. Not accumulating a bunch of junk is also a great decision we’ve made so far.
