Credit card debt: If you have experienced this in the past

If you have experienced this in the past, but have finally reduced debt and actually got out of this situation think about how you did it. If you are wishing you could reduce debt to zero eventually or for that matter just see some progress, but don’t have any idea how you are going to do this then keep on reading. There is hope.When we were first married we had debt and accrued some additional debt. Then we had a baby and had some major medical bills so we took out a loan and eventually ended up consolidating our debt into one loan. We then had the payment to bank and then kept a couple of the credit cards open for emergencies. Eventually we ended needing to use the credit cards and then a little here and there put us in an additional financial mess.Then we opened up a business and took out additional loans to get the business open. Throughout the business we gradually paid down some of our personal debt, but then when the business closed we had that debt. We decided that we did not want to take out another loan to consolidate all of the debt. We felt like that would not help reduce debt. We felt like that would get us in another downward spiral.Instead we got on the phone with a credit counselor and started looking at our options. We weren’t sure what we were doing and didn’t know if we would really get out of the debt ever in our lifetime.
