We ourselves became debt-free in time. We're concerned our friends are headed for financial catastrophe.
  • Don't talk about their money

    Talk about yours. The biggest factor in my sloooooow return from credit hell was listening to my boyfriend talk about his investing/saving/being a tightwad, every day. I'm not a rock star financier like him yet, nor will I probably ever be. But his monetary responsibility has made me want to be more responsible, so I cut up all of the cards except one, I'm picking up extra money on the side with my art, and I finished school. Hopefully in a few months I'll be out of immediate debt, so that I can start working on the big stuff--loans and saving for a house/car.
