I was watching Judge Judy last night (sorry, I love that show) and was fascinated by a case between an ex-boyfriend and girlfriend. In their short three year relationship, they had accumulated $38,000 in credit card debt in addition to their three car loans and multiple student loans.
I understand my debt is HORRIBLE and I can’t wait to be rid of it, but nearly $40,000 of credit card debt can’t be average right?
What are you numbers? And how long did it take you to get there?

In 2017, after 3 long years working the Dave Ramsey Baby Steps, they paid off more than $70K and became debt free. When she’s not working or blogging, she’s exploring the great outdoors.
$70,000 in Student Loan debt plus $16,000 in car debt as of 2007. I will be debt free in 2 more months as long as God is willing!
75k! And definately not proud of it. It took my husband and I about 10 years of living beyond our means. Now, going through a divorce and will get about 35k to take with me. Exciting huh? 27, single mom, part time worker, and 35k in debt. I’ll be tackling it the Dave Ramsey way!
