    I wish I had a friend like you a few years ago because I was doing the SAME thing!! I was a single mom in Brooklyn and remember my baby girl freezing waiting for the bus all bundled up. Reading Dave Ramsey trying to figure out the baby steps when I didn’t have a penny to my name in nursing school. Lol It took me years, but I bought a house in PA and am now in baby step 4 (investing). I wish you all the best! You are doing everything right!! A woman of God, good mom and daughter, taking care of your health and working on your finances. The rest will come. It will all fall into place! Enjoy the journey! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Then when they call they will go through your expenses with you and how much income you bring in monthy and create a plan to help you pay off your debt as quickly as possible.
