I know you have had some health issues and that does often create debt. You can get this paid off if you have a plan! What is the plan?

It already sounds like you are making good progress! Like ccf, I am interested in hearing about your plan going forward.

Life happens despite our other plans. Health problems definitely compound things. What is important is that you have a plan in place to get things going in the right direction again. Good kick on your journey.

It can be hard to get those funds (car repair, health savings) built up when you are just getting going. Just keep making progress as best as you can and it will turn positive for you.
