I've just started a blog to tell my story. I was thinking maybe I'll post it in parts on here in case people don't want to check out my blog and for those that happen on here, and just haven't gotten to my blog yet. Is that cool with everyone, would they like me to post it here too?

I've been busy and haven't gotten to the details yet. Though I did discuss with B I need to start writing more, to help me deal with my issues, and blogs are more fun, because you don't get feedback on diaries (nor would you want too!)

This is the condensed version:
My debt first started with school. I got out of college with a Bachelors Degree and about 20K in debts. I decided I wasn’t done torturing myself and went to grad school….in the UK. I barely made it through, forced to live off of credit cards after the loan didn’t last (I didn’t get as much as I asked for and it became worth even less by the time I exchanged it for pounds), and came home burnt out and depressed. I couldn’t pay my bills and went to debt counseling where they recommended bankruptcy. I was discharged and life was so-so until I met the girl of my dreams. She had a few financial pitfalls herself in her attempts at gaining a career. Instead I got back into my area of expertise and got a permanent full time type of employment. The move though started us out in debt, I was unable to get my hiring bonus, she was unable to collect unemployment and had trouble finding a job in such a small town. We decided buying a car was not the wisest idea, but we felt it overrode the fears of trouble our falling apart car would give us. Then we took out two large installment loans. And then a medical emergency hit. I started wracking up the payday loans because health is way more important than money. It was in search of more money, more debt to pay off my other debt that I found this wonderful forum. Please check out my blog for more details to this story and keep checking back to discover the outcome with me. And Please feel free to comment!
