    Question Do you feel your debt is way to big to manage comfortably?

    Are you struggling with meeting the payments and wondering where the $$ will come in order to pay your debt?

    I know at present where the $$ will come from, but it is a bit of a concern should dh not be employed. I hate debt with a passion so were working hard to get it paid off.

    How about you, do you struggle or are you able to manage your debt comfortably, although you'd rather not be in debt at all?

    No but if something awful were to happen it would really be a huge concern. (why is it that when you are young you don't think about things like this much?)

    We manage ok for now- but I worry about if something should prevent me from working at my current job. Nothing else pays the same as hospital, bedside nursing. I'd be hard pressed to pay the bills if I couldn't work my current job.

    We manage comfortably for now, but if something were to happen to DH's job, I am sure we will be stressing for sure.

    We are fine right now. We got quite a bit paid off. But if dh were to get out of the military, I would be worried.

    For the most part we manage fine...but if something unexpected were to happen we would be in big trouble...I hate living paycheck to paycheck..and having debt....these are area's I'm working at, and part of my goal area...although I don't think I've listed that exactly.

    We manage ok, but if something drastic happened our savings account wouldn't last very long. One of things I'm working on this year is getting our savings account doubled or tripled so we can better handle emergencies if they come along.
