Hello everyone,
I have been a lurker for quite some time. I'm not ready to post my numbers quite yet but I'm in some major debt. A while back I know someone had put an excel spreadsheet that could be used for snowballing. If you have it is it possible for you to repost it so I can get serious. Last year I used to keep track of all our debt and weekly checks, what we spend. etc. than my husband lost his job and everything went downhill. I just basically gave up. It's so hard I probably make about $10,000.00 more than I did this time last year but my husband probably makes about $12,000.00 less this year than last so it seems like I can never catch up. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm rambling I've just got so much going through my mind. Last time I tried to work this spreadsheet and it basically told me "YOU WILL BE IN DEBT FOREVER"....no but really I'm ready to get down and dirty. I even started blogging ( http://mygirlishfigures.blogspot.com ) hoping to get my some of my frustrations out. If someone can get me that spreadsheet I would really like to get started again on my debt and have you wonderful ladies as my support team.
thanks so much

Welcome to the board I think you will like it here.
Hello, and welcome.
It's definitely tough to get out of debt, but it CAN BE DONE.
I posted a spreadsheet that I got from someone on one of these boards a few weeks ago. Here's the link where I attached it.

I hope that helps.

Come read my daily struggles:
I don't have a spread sheet I got the page that you print out and list your income and bills on to see if you come up even and I got another page to print out that has days on it for a full week to list what you spend.
I saved both of them before the crash of 2008 See where my mind is these days. tee hee.
Thanks for thinking of me.
