you are working in a major finance firm and you are trying to make a pathetic $50k with a loan?
you are sitting on a gold mine... get your experience up, get some big projects under your belt... climb up that skill ladder quick, soon enough $50k will look like loose change.
travel the world? figure out how to do that on your company's dime... major finance firm should have lots of opportunities like, for young folks who don't have kids etc to tie them down.
Solid advice. Unfortunately you can’t teach or advise the above, it has to be learnt buy a smack in the face most of the time . Lol
