I am 30 years old and just graduated from nursing school. From rent, tuition, gas, and groceries, I ended with 10k debt in one credit card and 2k from another one. Not to mention, I still have 3k debt from student loan from when I was taking my prereqs. I drive an old car that breaks down all the time, and renting a room because I can’t afford anymore. Overall, I have 10k savings between 2 bank accounts and stocks. In my early 20s, I struggled a lot with my mental health. From depression and anxiety, and a lot of insecurities. I finally got helped when I was 25 and I went back to school. I know things will get better but I honestly feel very behind in life. I feel that I should have been financially stable by now especially with all the inflation happening. I will be seeing my first RN paycheck in April and I really hope that things will get better then. However, I can’t help but stress and feel scared for my future. I would like to get a new car and move into my own place. However, I don’t see that happening anytimw soon.
