We’ve only been in debt three times. A small student loan for my husband’s master’s degree, the medical costs for a premie, and a car. If there’s anyway we could have avoided these, it would have been so much better. I hate paying interest. We’ve been able to anticipate expenses or hold back on purchases by making do on the rest. Whew.

About three years ago, I signed a $5000 contract with a “film and fashion” talent scout for our two daughters.It included headshots, training sessions and 2 talent showcases. The girls did get an agent out of the deal, booked for a commercial and a few other small paying jobs. Great experience with great financial consequences.

I’d suggest cutting up the cards, setting up a family budget, cutting expenses where you can, and getting on a plan like Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps. Getting into debt takes a while, and so does getting out – but you can do it. Good luck and God bless!

I really wish that I hadn’t gotten my first credit card because now I have three and $6800.00 worth of credit card debt to pay. I first justified my credit card because I had gotten pregnant with out first child and I wanted to make sure that we’d have the money to take care of her but it was so easy to use it on everything else. If I could go back, I would never had gotten one. Now I’m up to my ears in credit card payments with two children and I really don’t know what to do to pay them off.

We’ve always paid our debts. But there are sure some things I wish I hadn’t spent the money on! The credit card debt I ran up during college is prominent in my mind.

After we bought our house, a moment of great clarity hit me, and I thought “Oh boy. I have to make this payment EVERY month!” If I could have, I’d have backed out of it right there. But I’ve always lived up to my obligations, and found a way to make the payments. But it was a load off of my back when we finally paid off the mortgage early.
