Debt And Nothing To Show For It

I found this sad story today on MSNBC, about a woman who has more that $60,000 in debt and nothing to show for it. I can commiserate--I didn't have that much debt, but it was still too much. And I didn't feel like I had a lot to show for it. Friends and family never would have thought I was extravagant, but I spent a little too much money here, a little too much there, and didn't have much to show for it. Glad that period of my life is over. But it is so easy to do.
