Power through! No easy-peasy answer or solution as it will not go away, it will grow and become harder the longer you wait. I do understand as I went through a rough patch and wouldn't even open the Bill's (I couldn't pay them so why torment myself). This group is wonderful, reach out to someone as an accountability partner. Ask for help, Face time and walk thru it with someone for awhile.  You Can Do This !

@northway yes! Let’s do it! Maybe we can meal prep and budget overview once a week?!?

@straightout can we just live together? Is that normal?

You literally just have to tackle it head on. Once you lay everything out, it can be overwhelming but then you start to improve. The relief you start to feel once you start getting your finances in order is so great and way worth facing your fears of money

It’s hard at first but once you face your debt and look at a solution and can see a goal of paying something off then you almost feel more powerful because you have control.
