Australian Finance Podcast · Patti’s Story: Moving countries & paying off $150k in student loans · 5 May 2022 podcast

Yeah.

Hey, I had a party.

I literally, I said to my friends that were there through, you know, I'm like, look,

I don't have a lot of money now, but now that I don't have a debt, let's have a party.

Shouts like, oh, I'm paying for drinks.

And I know it seems a bit cheesy, but it was just such relief, you know, at such a young age to just have that burden.

Now, obviously with hindsight, being in my mid thirties, I look at that moment and I think, wow, like you really,

did achieve something enormous, which then kind of like shaped my whole journey with finance, I guess.

Yeah, I was.

And, you know, it just for me, it solidified why I wanted to stay in Australia and why I wanted to continue working as hard as I was, because I thought, well, if I can do this, then, you know, home ownership is not that far from me.

And, you know, financial independence is, you know, probably within, you know, that kind of shorter grasp as opposed to being something in your 60s or, you know, in your 70s.

Yeah.

I set a new goal straight away.

I wanted to buy a property.

I wanted to get into the market.

My father was adamant that with this extra income now, he's like, you shouldn't live frivolously.

You've got to keep going.

Now that you have that mindset, just be persistent with that.

And I thought,

Yeah, I mean, why not?
