I decided to something about my debt after...



  • ...I knew my total debt.
  • ...I found out my credit score.
  • ...I was embarrassed over it.
  • ...I couldn't do something because of it.
  • ...I couldn't afford to maintain it.
  • ...debt collectors started calling.
  • ...learning more about personal finance.
  • ...deciding to make other life changes, too.
  • ...being sick of hiding it.
  • ...reasons not listed here.

The straw that broke the camel's back for me was the phone ringing all the time from collectors.

All my best,

I chose "being sick of hiding it". I sometimes think back to how it felt to have all that hidden debt, and now that I know how good it can feel to have everything in the open, I can't believe I let it stay bottled up inside of me for so long. Not only what it did to our finances, but also what it did to my health. Life is just so good now. :-D
