| I think there was a similar post about this a little while ago but how do you handle the transitions, priorities, and challenges in life being a young woman and wanting to barrel race? I'm going into my last year of college this year and am currently working two jobs (one is an internship) and am starting to take barrel racing lessons this week (very excited) because I never really got the experience I wanted with it only really getting to try it for a year. Soon I'll be out of school and finding a job and will obviously fully support myself. I want to do the things I want to do, which is barrel race, before I don't have as much time to do it when having children, etc in the future. I feel like I'm rambling but how do you line these things up and make sure you can do these things? I also am having some issues with my mother and am considering taking out a loan to cover my car insurance and cell phone that she pays, so I can be independent because we're having problems and I don't know how much more I can stand. How do you deal with being in debt and trying to make your dreams come true? I won't be in much debt right now because I have scholarships and grants, but with my degree, I won't necessarily be making the most in the world to pay it off asap either. So many what-ifs and unknowns can be a little overwhelming so I came here to see how you all handle it! If someone can remind me what that similar post title was called, that'd be great so I can go back and look at that too. | |

| Thank you! That actually wasn't the post I was talking about but it's still helpful! I think it was a post about doing things independently as a woman barrel racing, having a job, etc. I can't remember exactly and it may've been a few months ago. Regardless that post helps too! My goals are to be able to take lessons and get enough experience and comfort with barrel racing so that after I graduate, get a job, and am decently stable I can buy a barrel horse and have the means to barrel race on my own if that makes sense? But I guess I'm overwhelmed at the money it will take and how to do that when there are other things that become a priority too. I know I'm just b**chin. Lol | |
