Like many students across the country, I believed that going to college was the key to building a better future. I worked hard to get accepted into a university, dedicated myself to earning a degree, and took out student loans with the belief that I was making a wise investment in myself. Now that I’ve graduated, the reality is much more complicated. I am currently struggling under the weight of my student loans, and I am reaching out for help because I simply cannot manage this burden on my own.
During my time in school, I did everything I could to minimize debt—working part-time jobs, applying for scholarships, and living on a tight budget. Still, the cost of tuition, textbooks, and living expenses added up quickly. By the time I completed my degree, I had accumulated more debt than I ever expected. I understood that repayment would be difficult at first, but I underestimated just how much pressure it would put on every area of my life.
Since graduating, I have been trying my best to make payments on my student loans, but due to rent, groceries, transportation, car notes and other essentials I am unable to pay off my debt. I am doing my best to stay afloat, but I feel like I’m falling behind financially and emotionally which keeps me up at night. The stress of constant repayment deadlines and growing interest has become overwhelming.
I am open to any form of assistance. I am pleading with anyone who will be willing to help out of the kindest of their heart to get rid of this burden on my back. Eliminating this student loan will tremendously improve my mental state, and would put me in a better place to be able to get other things done. I currently owe approximately 71,000 in student loan debt. Having to work long shifts to pay off this loan while providing for my kids is no easy feat. I have been paying this loan for the past 2 years and it feels like the amount isn’t dropping. I am drowning, somebody please help me.
In conclusion, Student loan debt is more than just a financial issue; it’s something that affects mental health, stability, and confidence. I’m doing everything I can to move forward in my life and career, but this burden is holding me back. I’m asking for help because I believe in accountability, but also because I believe people deserve second chances and real opportunities to succeed. With support, I know I can turn this situation around and build a life I’m proud of. Cashapp:$JulieGarley
