So, total debt is over 20k.......SCARY!
But I am aiming to have it gone by the time I am 25 in March 2013.
My family have zero faith in me so I will essentially be doing this for me. Hopefully in a few years I will get married and have children and get a place of my own, but with my credit shot to pieces and a scary number hanging over my head, those dreams seem so far away. I would like to turn 25 and be reborn into a life of savings, no worries and no letters/demanding phone calls causing me anxiety and worry every time I wake up.
This diary will be my virtual log, and a new start for me. I don't mind admitting that my health has suffered due to debt worries, the anxiety runs me down and I get viral infections a lot. I am sure that I am not alone in this, and that there are hundreds of people out there who are in a worse position than me at this moment, but right now it does feel that I am alone and that I am at rock bottom.
I hope that I achieve my goal, and that in a good few years I could show this to my children, to show them what I have achieved, and to prove that nothing is too big or impossible.
Thank you for reading, and I hope I haven't bored you to tears!
