First you and your husband need to sit down and get a game plan. When you marry you become partners in everything even your debts.


If you can't get a loan on your own and you don't want your husband on it. Then this is what I think you all might consider. Let your husband pay all your household bills out of his pay. And you pay him 20% of your bring home pay as rent so to speak to him. Then take your gas money out and the rest

Remember too that progress and success is not always a straight line. Sometimes you might slip or have problems, but as long as you don't totally give you and you get back on the road to paying the debts down you will succeed!!
