April 2012 had to be the best month of my life – I married my college gal, bought a new car and was drafted by the New York Jets. The only debt I had was the $3,000 student loan I took out to afford the engagement ring, but I thought that with a 4-year/$2,100,000 contract my debt would soon be wiped away.
