    Not OP, but I could pay off a good part of the crippling debt I have that’s keeping me from saving 2x as much as I spend on paying it off. I have nothing at the moment and am barely surviving paycheck to paycheck and it’s just hard… having some freedom now that I’m finally organized would he nice again. Working all the time and not having a dime to do anything all the time is a sad and stressful life.

    At this time I won’t be out of this until the end of 2026.

      For your particular case, it wouldn’t actually change your life tomorrow/next week, but would draw forward the day (by $8k) you’d have a changed life, right? I’m sorry for your situation. I truly hope it gets better for you. I was paycheck-to-paycheck for many years and know what thats like. I can tell you from the other side that all of your hard work right now is worth it. Post paycheck-to-paycheck is such a relief. Depending on how things go after that, it can get even better. I want that for you.
