Where do I start? Well I am 24 years young (who the heck
wants to say old?) and I am married with no children, which is how I intend to
keep it for quite some time. I get a lot of criticism for not wanting children,
people assume because I’m married then children must follow but hey it’s a new era and in this day and age it is quite common to wait. I try to come off
as some cool fun woman with reasons for why I don’t want children (right now), I
want to travel, see the world and it’s wonders and just have a fricking good
time but there are some more deep reasonable explanations for it also….I am in debt. Debt is serious despite
my cool exterior responses to it, it bothers me. How the hell can I afford
another human being when I can’t afford myself? That to me is what debt is, you
can’t afford yourself and that’s me in a nutshell, I am too expensive for
myself! What a weird concept, to be too expensive for one’s self.
I am approximately $25,000 in debt making minimum payments
getting nowhere near seeing the finish line. I could afford to make higher
payments but then guess what that means….less shopping money, no fricking way I
could have that! So where do you wonder does this rather large debt come from?
It comes from fun let me tell you, it was pure fun. Do I regret everything I
bought and did with that money? Nope. What I regret is having to pay for it afterwards.
Paying a credit card company for something you bought two years ago is like
having to pay for every single birthday gift you’ve gotten. It’s just no fun;
it’s something I hate having to do.
Maybe I am careless with money, maybe I do over indulge and
maybe just maybe I am in denial about how bad my debt is. I tend to laugh it
off, but hey what else can I do? Follow me and my blog on being a self
confessed shopaholic with some major debt issues.
P.S I am writing this blog anonymously, not because I’m embarrassed
by my debt but well, this is just more fun!
With love, A
