Cross roads
R/debtfree - I could sue some guidance.
My wife and me are preparing for the future, we got the new family car and moved beginning of last year. Jointly, our account is pretty good. We’re in our early 30s. We put away a good amount per paycheck to cover rent, expenses, bills, etc.
Personal account however, could use some major help. When I was younger I took out multiple cards and I am feeling the burden of it now. Between 5 cards - roughly 30k in debt. I never took personal finance seriously but now I gotta put on my big boy pants and get this right or in the right direction.
I’m considering a consolidation loan to get me to a point that I can have a single payment and more or less daylight, it’s suffocating looking at what I’ve accrued.
The thoughts of NDR and getting shredded on credit scares me and filing for bankruptcy could jeopardize a move in the future.
I am turning to you fellow redditors, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
