From people who came through it
“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“When the debt first hit me I felt like I was going under. I kept it from my wife out of shame, which only made things heavier. What helped was finally telling someone. After that I sat down and wrote out every debt I owed, then worked out how to clear them bit by bit. It is slow going and some weeks are rough. Still, it can be done. Plenty of people have been where you are. Ask for help. Tell someone you trust. And just keep chipping away at it. That is where I am at right now.”
Sagar from Kathmandu · 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“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.”
