Since I'm being so honest, I went through ALL of my paperwork and looked for ALL of my debts. I found good ones (student loans) and bad ones. I also found personal loans that I intend on paying back (even though those people never once said I had to.)

So my current debt is: $35,074.56

I know that's WAY higher than my previous approximate; but I hadn't added in my student loans and monies people had given me that I want to pay back even though it was meant as a blessing (some was for mouth surgery and some to pay off a credit card where I was getting threatened to be taken to court.)

I am at a better place mentally/emotionally in my life (then before the crazy spending), so now I can see where I am financially more clearly, without judgment. I take responsibility for the financial mistakes I have made and am willing to work on chopping down the debt tree and building wealth.
