I've been paying down 20k of student loans for 5 years now. I'm nearing the end, but I still can't help but feel I am a slave to it. Now that I am making decent wages I feel trapped. The job I have couldn't be more unfulfilling. I drive an hour to work each day (because they moved an hour away a year after I bought a house right next to the old office) to sit in a cubicle, and fuck with spreadsheets all day. The sole purpose of my job is to maximize profits for our billionaire owner who offers shit pay (relative to the profits that i bring in) for shit benefits.

I love hearing stories like yours because it gives me pleasure knowing that some people don't have to live this way
