When I was in debt up to my eye-balls it never occurred to me how much it was sucking the life out of me. It’s kinda like being in the forest on fire. You cannot see beyond the tree in front of you and never realize you’re slowly burning up.
Debt has that same affect. As you stagger to pay your bills it never occurs to you that you’re doing this all of the time and worrying all of the time. Slowly but surely it sucks the life out of you.
I remember thinking at one point that I was so far under there was no way I’m going to get out of this situation.
The more you allow debt to pile up the more you go under the more you worry and the more it sucks the life right out of you.
The simplest solution is to go on a nice and easy debt diet. Just like you were to lose an ounce at a time you lose a buck at a time and slow get out of debt. There will come a point when all of a sudden its gone and the pressure’s off.
Don’t let debt suck the life out of you.
Just like eating an elephant. The thing’s massive! You’ve got to eat it one bite at a time. Just like with debt you got to tackle it one bill at a time. I’ve provided many strategies for doing that (see previous posts or get my Debt To Cash Kit).
Don’t let debt eat you up. Take the pressure off and start tackling it one bill at a time.

Dave,
Fun to see others talking about this. Very true as we've both experienced and see everyday in our clients.
It's amazing how quickly monthly debt will eat up a paycheck and spiral out of control.
