Debt Is A Huge Burden

I have been in debit, mostly credit card debt, all of my adult life. I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel though--I should be out of debt in a year and a half. I will have my car paid off in a year, and my credit card debt should all be paid off 6 months from then. I can't wait! I will stockpile money after then. I need to bolster my savings for sure, and I also want to buy a house. I could have done so much more if I had not been carrying debt all of these years. There is a lot of Free Financial Help out there for those in debt. I benefitted the most from Dave Ramsey. I don't always agree with what he says, especially about politics, but his message is good. DEBT IS STUPID! And I intend to manage my money so much better in the future. I had drinks with a friend of mine who is now debt free. She got a new job with better pay, and that is the biggest reason she is out of debt. She said to me she thinks she will never be out of debt again, and she just says that it is a mindset. That once you are out of debt, you don't want to be there again. i know that I will feel the same. Once you are out of debt, don't go there again! Make that a mantra!
