Debt Hater:

"My debt made me feel like a failure. I wasn't paying attention all those years. I missed credit card, cell phone and other payments simply because I moved five times in a two years and everything wasn't getting to my mailbox. Sometimes I would pay a bill and pray to God that I didn't need anything else for two weeks until my next check came. It made me feel like an idiot."

Divorce to Financial Freedom:

"She will be 16 next June and her car account is low and she wants to do a summer exchange program to Italy so she needs to crank up some income. I will not let her touch the college funds I have saved for her thus far. I know I am mean, but I think this teaches her and all the kids to save for a purchase and not just receive immediate gratification with debt."

The Corner Office Blog:

...then it got hot."
