Praise be to God -- it is finally done 🙏🙏 After 4 long years, I have finally finished paying off my driving ticket.
One does not receive "You did it!~" as a reward -- I barely received an email confirmation! But the relief that I feel over its erasure is indescribable... A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
The verdict?: driving without insurance 🤦♀️ Which, yes, I do not need to be lectured on the severity of my decision; I obviously already knew it was wrong. The excuses were escaping an abusive relationship by any means necessary, and just recently getting clean from dr*gz did not put me in a right frame of mind.
But, I was eventually caught, driving down an empty highway at 3 o'clock in the morning, and in May 2022, I was ordered to pay $3,200.
Being a full-time homemaker to my husband and first baby, as well as becoming pregnant in August of that same year, I could not afford to pay it up front, let alone make extravagant payments towards it. Rather I approached it slow and steady, making $100 monthly payments (meaning interest was also stacked onto the $3,200).
Yes, it was a pain in the ass to pay more AND have the problem in the back of my mind, but this allowed us to live within our means without having to worry about said ticket.
Now, nearly 4 years later, it is FINALLY all paid off 🙏🙏 I give glory to God, for the relief of pulling the prick out of my side is indescribable... All of my debts are paid off -- thanks be to God! 🙏💛
