I’m rebuilding from scratch as a flight attendant and being honest about where I’m starting. The starting balance is $40,058.44. The goal is not just to pay this off. The goal is to stay out of the hole, build better habits, and eventually build wealth as a flight attendant. If you are rebuilding too, you are not alone. #debtpayoff #flightattendantlife #buildingwealth #PersonalFinance
