My story is similar to many.
When I was 19 years old in college I was called over to a little table and invited to sign up for a credit card.
“ooh new boots!”, I thought
So off I went with a new $500 in fun money (in my mind) and I bought those boots.
That was 40 years go and I remember EVERYTHING about those boots. The look, how I felt in them, how they felt, how much they cost, even ($40).
Suddenly it’s 40 years later and I have never gotten out of debt.
Yet I refuse to give up.
I refuse to stop dreaming of a day where the debt doesn’t hang over my head like a hammer ready to drop.
The stress of debt is too much and I am committing with this blog to make it better.
I don’t know how.
I don’t know when.
But I’m determined to turn this around and go from over $100k in debt to $0.
This blog is anonymous for now. I run a business and I’m a mom of two and I don’t want to share this with the people in my life until I’m ready. If you’re in this kind of debt, too, I’m sure you understand.
In the meantime I hope this helps others, inspires you and maybe we can help each other.
Cheers!
xoxo, A
