Feels like we’re drowning *vent*
We have been trying to get all of our debt paid off for a while now. It’s been a long road since we’ve been living off of one income, because we have a disabled son, and I have had to be home with him for the last 5 years. We recently were able to secure care for our son that allowed me to finally go back to work full time, which felt like a huge step forward. But then my car required a series of urgent repairs that set us back $4k. And then we needed a new hot water heater. And then my son had some medical bills we had to pay. Before we knew it, the $10k we managed to pay off last year was right back. We have a total of $24k in debt. No car payments, purely credit cards. With me working, we can now pay $2200 a month towards our debt, and I am trying to be optimistic but I’m feeling so defeated. Every time we make progress, more expenses come up. We were hoping to be almost paid off soon, and now it’s going to be almost a full year until that happens. I’m just so sick of being in debt, and I hate feeling like it will never end.
