Personally, I think that Americans need to talk about their money more. I grew up in a house that money was not exactly a taboo subject . . . but I never understood how magically my Mom was able to produce money when a need arose. I think so many people could be helped, if only they had a friend that could swallow their pride and tell them, "Put down the trivolty and credit card."
I managed to survive college without any credit card debt, I actually didn't even have one! I knew myself better than to open an account lol. When Tony and I married however . . . I inherited his debt.
Since then we have gone on to create our own debt. Lol, marriage is grand. :)
Financially per month our payments equal 55% of our income, consisting of:
Mortgage
Credit card (1)
Student loans (4)
Car (1)
Honeymoon personal loan
CU personal loan
At this time I am so thrilled to report that one of our personal loans is paid off, in addition to the credit card!!!!
