Remember that there's nothing wrong with having debt, even unaffordable debt. What's wrong is being unfair to yourself and perhaps your family by not seeking help to get rid of it efficiently. Ask for help, you'll be glad you did!

10 years ago I had a mortgage and I used a lot of DFW advice to get rid of it.
This website has at times been an inspiration, a lifeline and a reference tool for cutting costs.
Heres to the next 10 years, perhaps all we MSE fans need to pledge to spread the word to at least one other person, just think how much the whole country could save!Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0 -

this forum as helped me so so much, in the late night when i was so desperate and scared , (debts) I realised that there were other people out there often in a worse position than me. I have cried reading posts, wanted to give virtual hugs to total strangers. And many if I had the money would pay their debts for them!
Thanks you (it) has been a life line, saved lots in interest over halved my debt in a few years, still got some but i have a very big light at the end of the tunnel now.
Another virtual hug ..........
