The only thing 47k can change about your life is to buy out debt or allow you to max out your 401k for 2 years.

That’s over a year of pay for some people. In one lump that could immediately stop people living pay check to pay check, maybe replace their car that keeps breaking down but they can’t afford a new payment, buy healthy foods at the grocery store instead of rice and ramen every day, pay for their kid’s college tuition….

Not to be pedantic but that’s not a small amount by any means.

Buying out that much debt could definitely change someone’s life for the better.
