MerlinHi everybody! I’m a single mom, in debt, and reading Total Money Makeover.
I took on a ton of debt in my divorce several years ago, and worked very hard to get just about all of it paid off.
Unfortunately, the last 2 years have been rough.
My daughter has been hospitalized 3 times, and I was diagnosed with cancer so have medical bills out the wazoo! I have a huge student loan debt, and some credit card debt.
I truly want to get on top of this!! I’ll be 40 next year and want myself and my kids to live better, and I want to be able to enjoy retirement someday! I’m looking forward to being part of the forum and learning from everybody.
I don’t know if anyone here is doing the baby steps, but I’m at pre-step one: Getting $1000 squirrelled away.

ElwoodWelcome, Lisa. A lot of us here are on the baby steps.
I was a single mother like you when I worked Baby Steps 1 and 2. It can seem like a long, hard road but it can be done.
A lot of folks on here will have encouragement and great ideas for you.
