It's a wonderful post that shows that judgement isn't helpful with personal finances. They are personal as it says and other people's decisions about their money whether for taking debt or investing are made because of their personal situation. And most importantly, they don't define who we are. We should always listen to the story behind. 😊
Sometimes, we carry debt not because of carelessness, but because we care too much，
about our kids, their future, the quiet dignity of “keeping them safe.”
I’ve been writing about emotional survival lately, not the kind that looks heroic, but the quiet kind, where you carry the weight so others don’t have to.
As a Black Mom with a young son this hits deep. My son starts kindergarten this year and this is a reminder to be vigilant and to be open to explore alternative schools and education for him if the need arises.

Just wanted to say: this spoke to me.

Thank you! I almost couldn't read it because it was activating many memories from my own childhood and with my children. Thank you again for sharing.
This was a great reminder that not all decision to take on debt is created equal. Thx for this piece + perspective.
Goodness do I appreciate you sharing your story here.
Thank you for sharing your story and experiences.
