Young Professional needing help

Hi Everyone, I've recently began my professional career and accumulated debt over my previous experiences. As I've grown in maturity an have better understood economics, I am sad to say my previous understanding had been completely false. I'm currently $13,000 in debt, managing to slowly (very slowly) pay it off. However, the overwhelming thought of having this amount due keeps me up at night and I cannot properly fulfill my duties in a career I am very excited about. Debt is never fun nor is it something anyone wants especially when starting the dream job.

I'm asking for help as I want to be a better person, able to manage my finances and help build a better future for myself and my future family. I am not asking for donations in the thousands but a small contribution to help lower my overall debt. It has been a difficult experience managing this and I know some of you may have been in similar situation. Having support makes all the difference. It can help turn someones life around.

I hope you can all appreciate a young professional trying to do better and seek support from others who can help. At this point, without sounding desperate, any contribution is greatly appreciated and tremendously nice.

Thank you!

M
