She returned to work at the sandwich shop.
Then in early 2022, she got a credit card to help build her credit history and bought a used car for $18,000.
She moved from job to job until she found work at a shipping company where she earned $16 an hour.
But after being late to work multiple times due to oversleeping, she says she was let go earlier this year.
Now, she's earning $11 an hour as a house cleaner, which she says isn't enough to pay her bills.
Her car was repossessed and being put up for auction.
She owes $1,400 on her cell phone plan, which was sent to collections.
Her total debt is now just over $21,000.
But she estimates it'll go down to about $15,000 after her car is sold at auction.
And because she can't afford an apartment, she's living at a friend's place rent-free.
McKenzie's story made me think about the $30,000 I currently owe.
It all started when I signed up for my first student loans.
I was 18 years old, and I didn't take time to think through the consequences.
My tuition was due soon, and I didn't have the money to pay up front.
I procrastinated until the day before it was due, and...
I rushed my decision.
Without looking at many options, I signed up for two private loans totaling $12,000 with a variable interest rate to pay off both semesters of freshman year.
That means that the starting rate can change during the loan's lifetime, and it has changed.
It's grown from 8% to nearly 12% in the last three years.
What started as a combined minimum monthly payment from both loans of $80 is now $100.
