Road to nowhere…

Hello,

I have almost been in consistent debt since I was eligible for credit some 18 years ago. I am sick to my back teeth about my current situation and finally want to break free. 

My aim is to rid all of my debts within 5 years. 

In the past I have opted in trying to hide away from my money worries while still maintaining a minimum presence to keep the creditors at bay. 

I want to put this all behind me so I can move on debt free, within my proposed timeline.  

Hopefully documenting my progress will assist me in achieving my goal.
