am on a virtual hamster wheel and want to get off

You really are an inspiration and I am proud of you for making such headway!
My "lightbulb moment" was back in October/November 2005. I had a mini breakdown and without wanting to sound dramatic, I wanted to kill myself. I couldn't see a way out. I have 2 small sons, 2 and 1, and a loving fiance, and yet all I could see was unpaid bills, clutter, and it all got on top of me.
I had a big chat with my BIL and sister, (who might I add to rub my nose in it, are millionaires) they wouldn't offer monetary help. I half expected them to, but am so glad they didn't.

I am now getting in control, like you did, and slowly but surely I am determined to get there.

You have really inspired me today so thank you. :T

Yes I have been down that road as well,I remember a few years ago when the ccjs came in I came out of the cab office( they were rubbish,Thank god things are different these days) and I was walking up this long road with my son by the hand and I just started to cry and cry,I just couldn't stop,scared the life out of my little boy might I add, and I promised myself this was the last time and since then it has been a tough journey but I am getting there.

Of course there is a long way to go yet but now at least there is some structure to the way I will get there thanks to everyone on here.
I see a lot of "what will I do next " posts over the next few months /years coming from this direction.
Chin up and tag along with me if you want as I will need a lot of propping up as well . :beer: .

I also know what you mean about families, I have a cousin whose daughter is a multi millionaire and my cousine works as her cleaner!!! and if she is sick or whatever she stops her days pay.
If it was my daughter I would disown her.
