Just having a bad day with debt and money in general.........What do you ladies hate the most about debt?

I hate it that my plans are put on hold. I feel like I can't move on from my divorce until this stupid debt is put to bed. I have tried to talk myself out of that fact and tell myself it is not true, but I keep coming back to it.

Needed to vent!

Great post.

I hate having to say "no" so often, both to things that we're invited to do, but especially to things the kids ask for

I hate knowing we're living so frugaly now to make up for mistakes we made a long time ago

I hate thinking about how comfortable we'd be on my husband's salary if so much of it didn't have to go to debt

I hate watching friends and family do things like go out to eat, to the movies, on vacation, or buy the latest gadgets, and completely take it all for granted

I hate feeling so close to the edge all the time, and just praying that that other shoe doesn't drop

I can so relate to this thread!

I live in a wonderful house :) ... with a 69 year old kitchen. :( No dishwasher, original counters, not enough storage, etc., etc. I have put off a kitchen renovation for six years while I took care of 35K in credit card debt and paid off a much needed economical new car.

I know that it's only a physical thing, not something that REALLY matters... but somehow this kitchen became the symbol of my debt. I hate it!

The good news is that we're renovating this summer. I've saved $30,000 somehow. I'm not quite excited yet... just VERY READY, UGH!

I hate that it took so long to find out that DH's medical condition is permanent.

I hate


always saying "no" to going and doing things we enjoy.


To having to constantly talk myself out of little things I would really like to have.

I hate:


second guessing EVERY payment and thinking that I could put that on a c/c instead of buying this or that.
