To put things in perspective.. Between making far less than offered, and having to take a second mortgage out on my house to pay lawyers, I'm at 2.5 years in with L3, and I'm just now almost back to where I was financially pre Avenge.
Two and a half years. Working OCONUS. For good pay.
Just to get where I was Pre-Avenge.
And that wasn't anything crazy. That was just no credit card debt, no second mortgage on my house, and more than $3000 in the bank when I go back to work.
