Hi I am new and a silly spender and want to be debt free...feel sick of money daily
Hi Guys I am 31, a wife and mother. My husband earns good money around 34k a year and I am on 17k a year. BUT....we are 15k in debt.

It will be tough but we are all here to support each other. Plus it'll be worth it in the long run. So the challenge is to see how many…
