The beginning of change

Sitting here in a waiting room. Not to see a doctor.

To see a debt counselor.

I can't believe I have gotten myself into this mess. What would I change if I could? Getting a credit line allowed me to go on my Germany excursion on my own. Getting a credit line allowed me to go to Munich again. Get my computer. Go back to Florida. Buy my scooter.

But I was having financial issues before I even opened a credit line. I had even borrowed money from a boyfriend! Oh the horror!

Yes, I think part of my issues did stem from just going to college- and the college that I did choose. At UM, I was opened up to a world I had never known before. But to explore that world takes money. So I worked a lot, and it still wasn't enough. And social status and wanting more than what I grew up with.

There- I said it. I want more than what I grew up with.

Not that I EVER went without.

I just want more. And now I'm in this mess because I choose the wrong way to achieve it.

Financial Issues

I've decided that I am going to start writing about my current financial crisis.
I am overwhelmed with credit card debt. I need help. So I am going to see a debt counselor on Thursday.
I need to make a change. And this is just the beginning.
