When Logan Lindsey graduated from college, she was a financial mess. At 21 years old, she had more than $35,000 in debt, no car, and zero balance in her bank account. The little money she earned straight out of college went toward rent and student loans.
Lindsey remembers sitting at her cubicle one morning, pondering what her life would look like in the future, and she suffered a minor panic attack.
“I saw future me living a life of want and need,” says Lindsey, who is now a bookkeeper.
To turn things around, Lindsey focused on while lowering his expenses. To increase her take-home pay, she worked as much overtime as possible at her day job while side hustling. To save on rent, she moved in with roommates and ended up sharing a room with two other girls, which lowered her rent by $400 a month. She also cut costs by preparing food at home instead of eating out, and opting for generic rather than brand-name items at the supermarket.
By the time she turned 32, Linsey had over $25,000 in her savings and investment accounts, and was adding $2,500 to her balance each month.
