Welcome to the Ms. Afro Penny blog! I began blogging about my journey to eliminate $130,000.00 of student loan debt on July 4, 2019, as AfroPenny, on a blog entitled Debt End Date. Two and a half years later, I have paid off $50,000.00+ of student loan debt and saved $5,000.00 in an emergency fund, on $50,000.00 an increasing income. Whether you are a new reader or have been reading since the beginning, I hope you will continue to follow my journey and possibly share yours with me.
P.S. My blog name has nothing to do with an interest in courtesy titles or honorifics, and everything to do with my love for Janet, excuse me, Ms. Jackson. Please feel free to call me Afro Penny or just AP (I feel terrible every time someone writes a comment and actually takes the time to write out Ms. Afro Penny. I guess I should have been a bit pithier with my blog title.

A room with no view…and a coat.
I want to apologize for alarming some of you with my last two posts. I generally try to write once I have things “worked out” but I realized that waiting for things to settle had become an excuse for not posting at all, so the posts from the past couple of days probably seemed hectic/unsettling…
