I love hearing other's stories about their struggle with debt. Perhaps someone may see it as morbid, but for me it makes me feel like I am not alone, like I am not some weird anomaly. It makes me feel human. And not only that, I learn something from their experience. It reinforces that I am on the right path, and that I never want to be in debt again.
A good family friend was telling me about his struggle the other day. He doesn't remember how much debt he had (it was too painful to add it up, he said), but it took him 3 1/2 years to dig himself out. 3 1/2 very painful years. And that pain is what has kept him out of debt ever since.
Another friend wrote me to say she could relate to my story because she too was digging herself out. And another friend, also in the process of getting out of debt, offered some great resources for advice and support (Dave Ramsey and Tony Robbins, in case you were wondering).
What is your debt story? Are you currently fighting with your debt? Have you resigned yourself to it? Or have you dug yourself out of your debt hole? I would love to hear your story!
