My Gawd! How I wish I had found this board a cpl yrs ago when debt started creeping up on me.

Anyhow- While I've got no cc debt I do have a debt w/ the phone company, a rental agency, and a sales company I used to work for. Then there's my live-in dbf. He's got a phone company debt as well as a massive hospital bill (from the heart surgery he had 16 yrs ago!)

So, here we are, in a mountain of debt, and trying DESPERATELY to climb out. *sigh*

One thing I was thinking of doing is not only doing the whole "Could've bought this but didn't so it goes on a bill" thing. But also piling up the loose change each day (and maybe even the $1 bills) to put on a bill.

Any other thoughts on snowflaking/snowballing would be appreciated.

Welcome and you have the nuts & bolts concept down for snowflaking (i.e. change).


I did try the only spend big bills and save the dollars for a month once just to see if I could!
