After one full year, I'm officially free of credit card debt! 💳

So last year I realized I was in a horrible financial situation 😞

I had to sat down and made a REAL budget 💪

One year 👉 Paid off total of $24,705!! 😱

How I did it 👇


2/ First off, I want to talk about embarrassment. Nobody talks about their financials, unless of course, they are great! So I NEVER hear about other ppl in credit card debt.

This has made me feel like I'm a failure or that I can't even manage basic financials...

3/ So I hope this helps others out there feeling the same way.

Maybe it's how I was raised (my parents aren't great either with it) but I consider myself pretty savvy.

4/ How I got in this situation?

Living in places like SF and NY and never saving, living basically paycheck to paycheck. Then I did a coding boot camp and funded most of it off credit cards. Then I moved to NY.

Spending on my CC and thinking I'll figure it out later.

5/ Going on expensive trips with friends and funding it off my CC. Having friends that don't have to focus too much on budgeting (parents help them) and keeping up with their lifestyle.

2/ For all my new followers (will get to that in a sec) I do a revenue & traffic #openstartup report every month for my main side project https://t.co/nkcmLxsSra

I've been working on this project for nearly a full year.

3/ Biggest thing that happened this month was obviously the 24 hour startup!

I won't talk about it too much in this thread, but after that happened everything just blew up. I'm still trying to catch up on everything and keep my head above water.

4/ All of this craziness sparked a big decision for me.

I QUIT MY JOB! 😁😅

I know it sounds kind of crazy to quit your job over that, but as I was heading into my 1:1 with my manager it just felt like I had to do it. It felt like the right thing to do.

5/ I had planned to grow SS for 6 more months and then quit, but then the 24 hour startup happened and it felt like it was the right moment to quit.

ANDDD IT'S DONE.

Clout Report: Crowdsourced data on hundreds of upcoming rappers.

We compiled a list of over one hundred upcoming rappers and used APIs and scrapers to get over 2,600 total data

Don't let the image fool you! Hear me out!

Features:

Sort, filter, and search by:

- Gender, age, location, record label, region
- SoundCloud follower data
- IG, twitter, and FB follower data
- YouTube subscriber data
- Spotify data

I think this is particularly useful/monetizable for:

💿 record labels looking for new talent
🥁 concert/entertainment venues that want to gauge the size of the audience of an artists
🎧 artists looking to collaborate with other artists
😎 finding artists "before it was cool"

We built this in 24 hours on stream!

Thanks so much to everyone who slaved away at googling for all of these usernames, ids, etc: @AlecOfJones @jnil @DigitalSparky @cameronrohani and sorry for everyone i cant name


Many ups and downs.

Per usual, there's always someone trolling the stream. We had dozens of people editing the google sheet when someone kept deleting data and columns...

Luckily Gsheets has revisions..
