The Monthly Hustle is my monthly newsletter, where I share updates and discuss things that have happened in the last month.

May was nice. I did something that I've been wanting to do for a while. I'll get to that shortly.

Side Hustles:

Amazon KDP: - No new books at the moment.

Second Website & Facebook Page - Too busy to focus on this at the moment.

Other Facebook pages: The Facebook page I rebranded is sports-related. In my previous newsletter, I asked if I should share it. A few people voted yes. The name is ATL Sports Zone. I added a few pieces of content to it. It's getting some engagement. Like and follow it when you get a chance.

Amazon Influencer Program - I added four more videos to the site. I'm currently at 270.

Reselling: May was slow again. Hopefully, June can be better. I added some new items to eBay, Mercari & Poshmark in late May.

Main Channel - Nothing new this month

2nd Channel - Nothing new

Next, I have an important update.

Student Loan Debt Update

My current student loan debt is $28,710.52

Federal Loans - $ 28,710.52

SoFi Loan - $0

I paid off my last private student loan in May!!!!

$1470.81 gonnnnnneee!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's goooooooooo!!

It feels good to have that loan gone. I'll be saving an extra $200 per month. The loan initially started as a Sallie Mae loan, then transitioned to Navient. I refinanced with Earnest a few years ago and then refinanced again with SoFi in August 2023.

I started this journey on August 18, 2023. I finished it on May 29, 2025.

In just 650 days, I eliminated over $10,200 of debt.

Refinancing my private student loan was one of the best things I did. If you are thinking about refinancing any of your loans, consider SoFi. They were able to give me a great rate and nice payment options.

What's next?

As you can see, I still have $28,000 worth of federal loans to pay. It's currently on forbearance, so I won't be making any payments on it for a couple of months.

I have some credit card debt that I need to eliminate, so I'm going to focus on that and save a little more.
