Although at this very moment I feel behind a bit, since moving this “thing” has been evolving swimmingly. Many small, annoying debts have found themselves away, and the big ones (for the most part) seem manageable. The goal is to be rid of this completely in 5 years (by the time I’m 30), while still saving what I can. I realize that I never know what is going to happen next. I never know what crazy idea I will come up with. All I can do is be prepared for whatever nuttiness I come up with. This revelation was one of the most amazing and important I’ve had this year.

I’ve budgeted, I’m making more than minimum payments, and I’m looking forward to the day debt is behind me.

kikimasu is back to posting on her journal instead of in this public place.
I got my free credit reports this past week and everything is spotless. I now have two credit cards and some student debt left to pay. The total is about $16k. Even with my trip next month, I should be below 15k by the end of the year. Of course, as soon as I get it down a little lower, I’m looking into grad school, which means more debt unless I can get a job at the college first. We’ll see how it goes. But at least I can THINK about grad school now. I wasn’t willing to go with all the debt already looming over my head so I’ve been putting it off. Now it feels like time to start studying for the GRE. Yay!

Two years ago debt was about $20k.
As of today it’s $14k.
In a month it will be $12k.
By June next year it will be paid off.
I’m making regular fortnightly payments, and also saving up what I can for lump sum payments.
I can’t wait to be debt free. I can taste it.

Two of my debts were wiped clean unexpectedly, which means I’m already below my $20000 goal for the end of the year. We’ll see how much more I can knock off by December. Very exciting! Of course, I’m taking a trip in October, which will accrue a little debt, but I’m trying to be smart about it so it won’t set me back too much.

We filed our income taxes and got some cash back. We used it all to pay off 3/4 credit cards. Now we still have 2 loans out (10,000); 2 student loans (22,500); and the last credit card (6,800)
So 38,500 dollars left to go.
But that’s 38500/45000 So for the first year of paying off our bills, we have done pretty well.
We will have 12,500 paid off by Christmas.
Then we will be down to 26,500… YAYS!

So, I’m 21 years old and approx $23,000.00 in debt with NOTHING to show for it. I just can’t help buying clothes, food, books, etc. I think I’m addicted to spending money. I am DESPERATE to pay my debt because I would like to quit working full time and go to university.
No one knows I’m in debt because I hide it from my family and friends, I hate feeling guilty.
I really do lack self-control and discipline.
Any suggestions? My debt is controlling my life!
