You are not alone. The reason I shared my recent success with friendships is because just 2 years ago I was in a very similar place. No, I won't know exactly 'til I've walked in your shoes, but you express a lot of issues that I have...

I would only do this if you are going to pay the card(s) off in full each month. Otherwise you would end up spending a lot of money in interest and it wouldn't be worth it. What I've always done is charge my everyday purchases (food,...

I don't follow DR but from what I understand, the baby steps are designed to help you see progress FAST. That helps you stay motivated to continue. If you can keep yourself motivated on your own, not get discouraged by how long it may...
