Hello, I love reading this message board but sometimes I don't relate to the posts becuase it seems like most people are married and have kids. I am interested to talking to other young working single women like me and what kind of debt concerns they have.
Anybody, or am I alone here?? :)

If you are looking for some young single women to chat with I go to the 20 something hangout board here it's pretty good.

I know what you mean. I'm single with no kids. I've been posting here for almost a year now. I'm 23, out of college for 3 years, and working as a chemist. I live on my own (renting) and actually have to work a second job to keep up. Oh yeah...I have tons of debt too.

When I first posted here I had almost 90K in debt (CC's, student loans, and medical bills). I won a lawsuit that got rid of 40K in medical bills (go me!!!)...I consolidated my 42K of student loans so my payments are easier to manage, and I'm about to be CC debt free.

This board is great. Coming here every now and then keeps me motivated.

Your not alone. I'm 24 yrs old and have about $23k in debt. I'm new to the board and thought this board was perfect for me. I also notice I don't relate to the posts becuase it seems like most people are married and have kids. But even though we don't have the same life we have a lot in common.

Wow congrats!!! I guess it is possible to get out of the hole! What was your strategy for paying off the CC debt?

You're right, we do all have alot in common. In fact, I wonder how those who are w/ children can make ends meet if I barely can! :)

Me, ME, ME! I'm 31, single, and no kids.. I can't even imagine how I could afford kids on my income when I can barely afford to pay all my bills. I have a credit card, a home equity loan and student loans. I just started working Dave Ramsey's baby steps and am really hoping this will work for me. I would love to see more stuff posted for single people.
