One aspect of the Great Debt Escape that methinks is discussed too oft-little is the cost of actually trying to live while getting out of debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yeh yeh yeh I know \u2026 reduce expenses, direct those savings to debt satisfaction, stop using cards \u2026 yadda-yadda, yadadadadada whatevs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
