My debt has gone from $27,000 and completely out of control in 2001 (when I was only 22/23 years old), to $15,000 with a clear plan to bring it to $0 by 2009. :)

I'm getting married next September!

And HUGE CONGRATS to all on your positives!!!

Name AT LEAST one positive thing in your life regarding Debt.

Without CC's with high limits, I could never have financially survived the custody battle with my ex. I paid my attorney every cent of cash I could get my hands on and charged gas, groc.'s and other necessities.

Name AT LEAST one positive thing in your life NOT regarding Debt.

I'm a free woman! I'm now taking steps to be free from debt as well.

I'm mad at my jerk of an exhusband this week, can ya tell?

congratulations to you...

I've read many times that being an entrepreneur is a much surer path to real financial success than always being someone's employee. I'm personally fascinated with it and would love one day to have my own biz of some sort.

Congratulations to everyone on their positives regarding and not regarding debt. My positive regarding debt is just getting serious and honest about it and doing something to change it. Hopefully we can have our cc debt paid off by the end of the year! Non-debt related positive is definitely my family! I have 2 healthy children and a wonderful husband and sometimes I take that for granted and forget how lucky I am.

I hear ya...when my house feels messy and cluttered, so does my mind.

Good idea Aravis!

We were all a little down this week (let's blame it on the time change:)

Good thing related to debt -

I paid off my BofA card and moved half my debt to take advantage of a 3.99% interest rate:) I'll have it all paid off by next spring.

Good thing unrelated to debt -

I have a great DH who's fun to be around and the best Dad/sister anyone could ask for. An interesting job with nice co-workers.

One positive thing to do with my debt.....
We own BOTH of our cars and they are good ones! And if we keep it up we will have paid off all our cc by the end of the year;-)

One positive thing NOT debt related
Next week is our 10th anniversary and we are still madly in love and still like to hang with each other....according to most of my friends that is a rarity so we are trying to savor it.....

On another note...everyone on this board is SO great...I never would have had the discipline or preplanning to save for my surgery had you guys not given me the direction. There will be more bills but I have an efund & a plan.... you guys are they BEST!!

I have two positives about my debt:

-coming to terms with the amounts and having DH be onboard for our reduction plan
-meeting everyone here....what a great group!!! I would honestly be lost without the inspiration from you ladies!

A positive not about debt:
-two beautiful boys and a wonderful husband...I don't appreciate them as much as I should!
