I'd like to propose a challenge; to cutback, budget or earn more to not get FURTHER into debt this year.

I love the dfw challenges, but at the moment we just don't have the spare money to pay masses over the minimum payments, sometimes only managing the minimums. But it's not dire enough to warrant dmp.

I'm wondering if there's any other dfw who can't quite start paying off yet, and are just trying to keep afloat til things improve!
