I wish Kubo Queen and I were more disciplined, but the truth is that we’re not perfect. When it comes down to it, we are just like any other humans with things we desire. And, sometimes, we yield to those desires. At the start of my student debt journey, Kubo Queen and I made a deal to not eat one of my favorite foods until my student loans were paid off in full — sushi. As you might know, eating sushi at a sushi restaurant can be quite expensive. Even though I am fortunate enough to live in a city with many all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants, those deals still cost around $25.00 per person. It’s definitely not the most expensive meal you can have going out, but for someone like me who owed over $35,000 in student loans at the time, there were better things to use the $25.00 for. So we made a promise to ourselves that we would only start going out for sushi again as soon as we paid off my student loans…
