I must admit... I am unaware of how much I REALLY owe to credit card companies. I have been to 3 different colleges and have taken loans out at each one and have opened various credit cards along the way. I'm nervous that I have debt that I am unaware of!
I'm sure it's close to $20,000 total- encompassing credit cards, school loans, and medical bills!
Seems like SUCH a large number!

I only have one personally, but I also count my husband's. In total, I think we owe $5000-6000. It sucks because we want to get our own place and a new car, but we have to wait until we're completely out of debt.

My credit card is sitting at $4,039, my line of credit is sitting at $10,900, and my car loan is sitting at $8,300. Add that onto a $235,000 mortgage and I'm not comfy :( My blog was started as a way to keep myself accountable as I work on paying it off.

I have $27,000 on my student line of credit, which is just hovering over me...

I'm not making enough money to pay off what I'd like to put towards it every month. Between my rent, utilities and debt repayment it's about 60% of my income. That's not food, housewares, toiletries, nothing. I don't spend a lot of money on things outside of these categories, 'cause you can't spend what you don't have!

It's frustrating.
