I've decided to go for it and reveal the results of a recent credit report and score on my blog. I want to find a way to get out of debt and raise my credit score even though I'm on a super low income right now. I'm sure that there are others out there who are in debt, broke and have no idea where to even start or if it's even important. So I'm inviting anyone interested to stop by and learn with me step-by-step how to fix your credit and why it's important. I'll reveal my own debt and the first lesson on January 1st 2008, look for the "Debt & Credit Lesson Posts" to read them on: http://thedomsticdiva.blogspot.com

Good for you, brave soul! This is the right time of year for everyone to be thinking about this... post-Christmas shock will set in shortly. There are books out there, but it makes for dry reading... having someone show them, and be working in the same direction at the same time, will definitely catch attention... I'll check in for sure, and may you have at least a thousand hits a day!

Thanks! It's a hard thing to do, I already wrote up my first two posts so I can just post it on the 1st. Writing up my debts for the world to see is embarassing! But even looking at them now I can already see things that most people just don't think about or know that later end up biting us in the credit butt. I tried to point those out as I wrote down the debt. I'm just glad it's 4 figure debt and not 6!

You're showing your wisdom already by having a small amount of debt... I would be paralyzed if I owed six figures, but I know many people who do... and still use their credit cards! Scary!

I would break down too if it was a 6 figure debt! I've given up all credit cards and just use my debit card. That's cut down on debt and on clutter from having a bunch of useless purchases sitting around the house.
