Thought you guys might want to check this out. Don’t have time to discuss it much (headed to the doctor), but basically the New York Times is taking an in-depth look at debt: what causes it, who is affected the most, why we dig ourselves into debt, and who exactly is to blame. It’s a great interactive experience that tells us a lot about debt and it’s affect on both society and individuals. Good stuff. Gotta run!

I am struggling to get out of a debt trap right now. Once you are in debt so far, it is very difficult to climb out of it. I didn’t fully open my eyes to how bad our situation was until we were over $75,000 in debt in credit cards alone. I started a blog for self motivation and to keep track of my progress. I am proud to say that that I have paid down $3000 since April.
As far as who is to blame for our credit card debt, I fully blame myself. I blame it on a lack of budget and living beyond our means. Now I am paying the price for our mistake. If I stay on track, I should be out of CC debt in about 4 years.
