Do you ever feel like you are drowning on debt?

[crisstar]

Yes, I've felt that way in the past. When I developed a plan to get out of credit card debt I felt more at ease and didn't feel that way anymore.

I suggest you develop a plan and decide which credit cards you're going to pay off first, etc... It will help you feel a lot better about your situation.

  We were having no problems paying all of our bills monthly until about 4 years ago.  We had even decided to start paying everything off at that time.  So when a few months later my husband was in a work accident that left him permanently disabled and then a few months after that a company I worked at for 30 years was sold.  To a company that only kept us on for 6 months, to train their staff then let us all go.  We went from making combined $190,000.00 a year to $28,900.00 a year.  Talk about shell shock.  At least before all of this we had paid almost all of our bills off.  But now it is hard to cover mortgage, and utilities.  I work for several different secret/mystery shopper companies  so I don't ay for groceries or dining out.  I pay but we get reimbursed by the shopping companies.  I just signed up for one that does amusement parks, museums and hotels which should be fun.  But I do understand that drowning in bills feeling.   It's the pitts!  But, we just do the best we can do and keep on swimming.

I have been drowning in debt for years.  But I do what I can.  I wish things were easier to come by.  But all you can do is your best.

Yes. All the time. I was getting caught up but then recently had some crazy, expensive dental procedures...Debt is never ending.

I hope you find a solution! Try to save a little bit more of what you get in your paycheck, if you can. Or cut back on things that aren't necessities.

I'm barely getting by. Hope it gets better for you.

No, I feel that I am blessed financially and in every other way.

I don't feel like it....I am.  I just take it one day at a time.  I try and live and cheaply as possible and try and save...and pay back my debt.  I just took in two roommates and that helps.   Best advice...keep plugging away.

I just feel that everytime I save money up that something happens that I dont get to spend it on that special treat I wanted.

I have debt but I don't feel I'm drowning in it. I have mortgage debt and use credit cards but able to pay them off every month. I have some savings but need to save more.

I have accepted the fact that I will never get out of debt, I just do the best I can to deal with it. There is no hope for middle class people.
