Do people EVER get out of debt, or is that just more lies told by the government and parents who like to make you feel guilty?
I dunno. I keep making progress, and then finding more debt.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

No shit. That happened just today. I was feeling good about stuff and then WHAM! Bent over a barrell again.
Maybe I should go to rodeo clown school what with all the barrells and bullshit.
I'm on the phone with a credit counselor through my Credit Union as we speak...
He just stepped away to crunch some numbers....

Keeping fingers crossed for you, hon.

Oh, yeah. I know this one.
(And can it be a camel rodeo?)
On edit, because it's actually relevant: {{{DCJ}}} -- the numbers may very well suck in huge and painful ways, but keep in mind if they do that you're taking a big step to make things better. Also, rodeo clowns got your back.
I never got a credit card. So I have very little debt. Of course, I've also spent time waiting in line for charity food at the worst points in my life, so that prevention strategy wouldn't appeal to everyone. And I'm finally going to break down and get a credit card. Once I get these companies to get over their "no credit equals bad credit" idea.
Oh man, DCJ. I hope your CU counselor can help you out. I wish you a swift and financially successful solution to the unjust dilemma you find yourself in.

RODEO CLOWNS UNITE!
Daniel, best of luck and crossed fingers.

Well, my parents, but they are freaks, plus they've lived in their house since 1968.
We're slowly crawling out. We were bad this month, though, and put a few things on cards. Assuming we pay that off in full next month, all the rest of the debt will be house-related, but that's still a lot of debt.
Yet another reason to watch The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy -- I'm watching an episode titled "Prank Call of Cthulhu." The number of ways Billy mispronounces "Cthulhu" is endlessly amusing to me.
