Out of Control Debt

How did I get here? Does it even matter how I got here? What can I do about it? Can I get my debt under control? My debt burden has begun to consume my thoughts and my life.

I knew I had to do something when I didn't have enough in the checking account to pay my current bills even though my boyfriend and I just got paid. I had planned on going clothes shopping for myself, but for the first time that I can remember, I decided that I could not burden our lives with more debt.

That was almost two weeks ago. That weekend started out very anxious for me. I wanted to do something, needed to do something, but what? How could I get out of this and maintain my good credit?

I went on-line and bought Dave Ramsey's "The Total Money Makeover". I needed some inspiration. Quite frankly, I didn't expect the outcome -- I actually got inspired. I have started my own journey back from my burden of debt. By starting this blog, I intend to share my journey with others.
