About Me

I’m Stephanie.

This is a blog about personal finance. Specifically, my state of financial dependence and my path towards independence. Here, I’ll discuss the particulars of my journey, and you can come along for the ride.

My story includes student loan debt, credit card debt, domestic abuse, depression and anxiety, and divorce.

Catch up on my financial journey.
