In my 20s, while attending law school at New York University by day and concerts by night, I racked up more than $30,000 in credit card debt. I wasn’t thinking about my credit score; I was solely living in the moment. After three years, I left law school without graduating. The $40,000 salary for my administrative assistant day job barely covered rent and student loans. I made minimum payments on my credit cards, cringing as hefty interest rates ballooned my balance.

When I adopted my daughter, I had 24 hours' notice to prepare for her arrival. I'm a freelance worker, so it was easy to stop taking on work, but it was a big shift in how I earn. This article is part of "Milestone Moments," a series about financial planning for major life events. This summer, my boyfriend and I adopted a newborn daughter — and we had only 24 hours' notice once we had confirmation that she had been placed with us.

I can’t imagine ever doing this. Aside from being unethical, it probably won’t get your lit mag read because the receiver won’t know what it is or why they’re getting it.
I hate when lit mags add me to their newsletter without my permission. It is rude and unlawful. If you have a newsletter, every single reader/subscriber should be earned honestly. The newsletter writer-reader relationship is one of trust and service, not deception and harassment.
