From people who came through it
“If you're just starting this, the first thing I'd say is open the post. I know it's scary. I know the red letters make your stomach drop. But the not knowing is worse. Call someone, anyone: the city, a debt charity, even just a friend who can sit with you while you do it. You don't have to fix it all at once. Just start with one envelope.”
Vet nurse in Phoenix · been through debt and money stress“Dear stranger, this time last year I was exactly where you are. It was minimum payments forever and I couldn't see past it. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.”
wanjiku_lost47 · been through debt and money stress“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad and free debt advice was the best call I made, they dealt with the creditors for me. Go slowly.”
tiredsouth · been through debt and money stress“You are going to do the math in your head at 2am and it will make you feel sick. Do it anyway in the daylight, with a pencil. The adviser did not make me feel small. Bring the letters. All of them, even the ones you hid in the drawer. You did the thing that felt shameful and you can say it out loud now, and the saying is the start. It will not be fixed next week. It will be a plan. A plan has a date.”
