I'm so happy for you. I know how scary this sort of thing has been for you over the years, and I'm glad you're making this happen. I don't know what I've told you about my own financial situation, but for the past couple of years, I've been in a similar (although not quite as bad) pickle. I gave a bunch of people a bunch of money at a time when I wasn't terribly rational, and racked up a huge debt in the process. This combined with a couple of external factors have conspired to make my debt load pretty massive. But a couple of months ago I decided to do what it takes to fix it. I've now climbed out of the hole, and it's no longer getting any *bigger*, and I'm slowly throwing dirt into it, trying to close it off. When I get back to Edmonton, I want to try to get a debt consolidation loan and just get rid of my big credit cards altogether. That will be such a joy, if I can work it out. -J This is very exciting! I’m so happy for you.
