- I don't have a car and thus no car payments or insurance. I am lucky enough to walk to work.
- I HAVE taken money from my parents, most recently on my Sister's bachelorette trip, but other than that it has been several months since I have received anything. Trust me when I say that this money does not come Guilt-Free.
- I do smoke and I know it's expensive and bad for me. I am trying to quit.
- I do have a plan for the future and have been blogging about it. As the blog notes, I'm a "work in progress" but as soon as I clear the rest of my short term debt (see sidebar) I am going to unveil my Master Budget that will include the creation of an Emergency Fund and spending limits for each category of spending.
Anyway, I appreciate you stopping by and feel free to ask me any questions you like!

Where did you find the bar graph widget that you used for the short term debt in your side bar???
Hi, I can't remember but am pretty sure I borrowed it from another blog. There's this trick you can use that shows you the source code of a page and you just scroll through the html until you find the thing you need. Well it's not a trick, you just click on "view" in your web browser and then click "source." Let me know if that works or I can send mine to you if you want.
I got it to work!!! YAY! Thanks!! Now I can keep track of my debts on my blog!
Hey there Sallie. I found your blog through MSN Money.
When I saw your debts, I thought, "Holy canoli." But when I pulled my own records and put pen to paper, I discovered that I'm $128,771.75 in the hole myself.
:-P
I can't identify with most personal financial blogs since most people who have similar amounts of debt like me are due to mortgages/HELOCs. (I'd trade $105k in student loans with a mortgage any time!!)
I also can't bear to read about people who complain about their student loans when they have less than a quarter of what I owe.
I can certainly identify with and sympathize with your struggles. You seem to have a plan and I think you'll find that the debt repayment will get easier over time.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you, it's good to know there's others out there in similar situations - I know there must be but the blogs are few and far between so I'm writing mine.
Saw you on MSN and have been enjoying your blog. Welcome to the PF blogosphere!
