Get to know me
Are you currently trying to pay off debt and have no idea where to start? I’ve been there. You’ll find lots of posts on BG that talk about my 3-year journey of how I paid off my student loan debt. I actually started BG because I wanted to chronicle my debt-free journey and find a community of others doing the same. You’re not alone, I’ve been there and I’m cheering you on in your debt-free journey!
