She paid off more than $100k in debt by cutting her budget, paying more than just the required minimum and working multiple side jobs.
Adrianna RodriguezA woman celebrated paying off her more than $102,000 in student loans with a photoshoot in a New York cemetery.
Velez's journey began in 2013 when she graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with about $75,000 in student loans. She moved to New York with determination to be debt-free by 30. Finally, Velez dipped into her savings to make her last payment on Aug. 2. By the end of her six-year journey, interest had turned her initial $75,000 in student loans into about $102,000 of debt.
But the sacrifices were far from easy. Velez admits that she was burnt out nearing the end of her journey as she was unable to spend quality time with friends and family with all the extra jobs she was taking on. Sometimes, she would have to get creative to stick to her food budget, depending on complimentary breakfasts and snacks from her office to get through day.
