Let’s play a fun game. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours. Debt, that is!

Right now I owe $7,081.46 in credit card debt. It’s been a crazy year (rationalization alert) and I’ve been sad at times and distracted (more rationalization) and fell behind instead of paying off my card in full every month (ok, that’s true). I plan on getting back on track after I get married next month (procrastination).

Now your turn. How much debt are you in? Sound off in the comment and/or take our poll. Bonus points for describing how you got in and how you’re going to get out. I’m going to get out by hiding my credit card from myself, reducing expenditures and setting up a planned-out payoff schedule.
