Thanks for stopping by, allow me to introduce both Less Debt, More Wine, and myself.
About Less Debt, More Wine
Less Debt More Wine is all about kicking debt ass while still having a life and enjoying a bottle glass of wine. I decided to start Less Debt, More Wine because I wasn’t seeing any debt focused blogs for people with tons of student loan debt that focused on the balance of aggressively paying off that debt and still having a life. Don’t get me wrong, kudos to those people that have no life for 1-3 years and pay off $100k in debt, but frankly, I like having a life.
How did doing everything right end up so wrong?
If you left law school or grad school in the last decade and are still dealing with your student loans, then you are in the right place. Because starting school when interest rates were high and finishing in the middle of a recession sucked.
We did everything right, all our lives we were told to go to college, we did, and being a lawyer was a prestigious career where we could make a difference, so we went to law school too. Little did we know that being a lawyer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, it’s great for some, not for all. Nevermind, the low paying jobs that were available when we finally finished school.
