Good for you Laurie! My debt got me a $60,000 consolidation loan. I still struggle at times with spending money on things I don't need, but I don't have access to any credit and with a $1300.00 debt repayment each month it doesn't leave much for splurges.

Thanks for your honest post. I often feel VERY guilty about the mess I got myself in and it helped to hear that I'm not the only one.
