Grant, thanks for your story, it gives me hope. I’m in the same situation pretty much, but only have one income and lots more debt. I guess it can always be worse! Not sure how though right now…at least my health is good and I have a job…just need to get these loans paid off!

Grant, read through past posts here and at PrimeTimeMoney. A year and a half ago we were 20K in the hole. It may not sound like much, but when you consider our combined household income is only about 50K, it’s a relative percentage. Never lose hope, but get ready to buckle down.

That is scary, it makes you think twice about wants and needs and how fast things can spiral out of control.
