About 25 years ago I went to a local free credit counseling place. I showed them my debt load and the guy said I should just go into bankruptcy. I rejected that idea. I owed the money. The one thing that came from the meeting was I got a list of phone numbers. Remember this was long before the internet.

I called every company that I owed money to and discussed it with them. The only card I kept active was my American Express. I knew I HAD to pay it off evey month but if I had some emergency I would have 30 days to pay it off. I had the major parts paid off in three years. It took me almost 7 years to get out of debt. I will never go into debt for just stuff again.
