Thanks for the honest story, congrats on pulling yourself out of debt and into (quoting you) privileged life.

I see the HN crowd as rather monotonic, and thanks to stories like yours, it shows me wrong, and that’s for the best.

Thanks. It wasn't easy but to be honest having a high-paying engineering job certainly helps. I have no idea how I would have escaped that cycle if I had a lower-paying job.

My escape was doubling my pay, then paying off my debt, then refusing to take on any further debt, ever. Currently closing on a house, paid with cash. Never again debt.

Good for you. I like seeing stories like this, especially in here.

"monotonous" I think you meant :). Though the identical etymology makes this a bit silly.
