How I’m using my Lemon8 to pay off my debt

#embracevulnerability #Lemon8Diary #shareyourthoughts #debtpayoff #debtfreejourney

I would like to start by saying that I am not in the creator rewards program, nor do I make any profit off of social media or any side hustles. I am making payments directly from what I make with my full time job. I am simply letting the algorithm of Lemon8 choose how much extra I pay towards my debt each month. Lemon8 is in no way giving me any money by posting neither is any other social media app. I apologize for any confusion.

How am I doing this? Well, I work my regular full time job. I have listed in my post how I am paying extra to my debt. Just by you viewing it, that is extra money that I will be putting towards my debt. Now, if there is a post that I make that does not get as much interaction as I was hoping, I will put in whatever that total was plus a little extra. I am determined to pay off my debt as fast as possible.

Looking at what I have in debt is reasonable. I am 23 years old with goals set in mind to complete before I’m 30. To reach these goals, I want to pay off my debt as fast as possible to have less pressure. Once I finish paying off my debt, I will switch gears and let Lemon8 choose how much I put into savings each month.

If you have any questions or want a breakdown of anything for a better explanation let me know!
