I can’t believe I’m that much in debt.
It’s kind of painful to see. Almost overwhelming.
I’m less than $50 away from being $25,000 in debt with my credit cards and student loans.
Even though that number makes me want to cry right now, thank God I decided to get this situation under control.
I’m trying to tell myself that owning up to it is the first step to solving the problem. I know I’m right; I hope I’m right.
I’ve made one huge decision today.
My family is not going to drag me down any farther. They can all go enjoy their stress and debt and whatnot, but I’m staying out of it. I’m no longer going into debt further for their benefit. That’s done. I’m now going to make a plan, make some money, and climb out of this huge hole I’ve fallen into.
But for now? I think I just might cry myself to sleep before I start tackling this huge mess tomorrow.

That is not bad compared to many of us. I still owe more than that (although our net work is very high due to retirement savings and high equity in house). But what I owe is a lot less than a year ago.
One day at a time (sounds like we’re in AA, huh?)
Haha. It sounds very much like AA. But it helps to know that I’m not alone. :)
