Embarrasing Question...

Hello again. I have a question. It's embarrassing that I even have to ask, but everyone always talks about how they pay all these bills everymonth.. Does anyone have a few outstanding bills that arent' getting paid right now? I have three. One is for $1400 it's an old student loan --not a government loan,but a private student loan that had just got lost in the borrow Peter Pay Paul shuffle, and it's just sitting on my credit report waiting to be paid. Another is $240 to hopsital and one more small one that's $300 from an overpriced termite bond that I got a few years back. I DO PLAN on paying these back.. but right now I am just tryin to pay my mortgage, daycare, cc's and other bills to keep us going that are quite frankly more important, PLUS The fact that I am trying to save 1K emergency money.--After that is done is when I plan on trying to pay this other stuff off.

My credit sucks right now.. and I am working toward making it right, but in the meantime does everyone think I am a horrible , mismoney-managed person?? Do any of you have some of these demons on there credit report?.. sure would make me feel better....
Thanks for listening..

I totally agree with what you are doing! you have to set priorities, and your daily bills and taking care of your family are mor important. I have some oddball bills out there, but right now i want to make sure i can pay my mortgage,taxes and utilities!
