What seems like a woman’s downfall ended up being the answer to her financial dreams! The U.S. Sun reports that after Jasmine McCall took a step to break the cycle when it came to money mismanagement within her family, she wound up with $100,000 in just five months (talk about a come up!). Like many Americans, bad credit caught up with McCall, but in her case, it was an adolescent mistake that cost her the ability to open up a checking account as she set out for college. As one of five children raised by a single mother, financial hardship couldn’t seem to escape the now 30-year-old who felt as if she always had to pay for her mother’s past mistakes when it came to money. “At this point in my life, I’ve done really well for myself, but I will never forget the feeling of constantly being rejected because my mom had bad credit,” she said, according to the outlet.
