“Took out a high-interest payday loan.”
What Actually Happened
i had a bad year in may 2024 when i was 21, where i lived with an ex partner, then i tore my acl and owed about $8,000 for the surgery. we broke up the same week of my surgery and she moved out a week before rent was due. i wasn’t able to work for about a month and a half since i was recovering and worked an outdoor manual labor job. and i practically had no savings. i took out an awful payday loan to pay the full rent since she left and i’ve been paying about $450 bi weekly since then.
