I'm 21 years old! I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful little boy. I own my own home (with mortgage) have a nice car and have recently started my own business.

Written down there it sounds great!

However I'm 21 an I'm drowning in debt! Once we bought our house we also got a car and the insurance is killing us! We got a few credit cards that we were because you living off! We can't sell the car because it's on finance!

Every time I see anyone they always ask me if I'm ill because I look like shit! I wear the same clothes every single day to work and at home or out.

I literally own one pair of leggings that I wear every day!

A a jacket, I can't afford to buy a knew hair dryer since my other one broke. So my hair is greesy! I'm borrowing money of relatives just to pay my bills! My business is going no where! My husband is sinking into depression because of all our money worries!

Then we have to buy costumes for ours sons Xmas plays he has two!!

I just feel I'm drowning at 21! Everywhere I look these girls are looking gorgeous! Where as I can't afford to get my hair done! I'm going bald with stress. My once great teeth are getting holes near the gums. I've chewed my nails to the brimZ everyone tells me I look like shit.

I tell myself, it's okay I'm in a good position, my baby is happy and healthy. Me and my husband love each other and our little boy. He is fed and clothes.

But then I look at it properly and me and my hubby are so Misreble! We are so behind on our bills. The next council tax letter we get will be a summon to court! The next car insurance we miss, they will camel it!

We need a car to get to work and take dc to school!

We don't go anywhere or doa nothing!

I've never written this down before and I just needed to get it out!

I've tried getting help but there is non!

I've tried to get rid of the car but no one will take it because it's onfkance. If th me fiancé company take it then we can't get a knew one. We have no savings! We are living everyday like it's the next. We don't eat properly. We don't drink properly. My life just feels like it's falling apart.

I just want to look after my two boys, but I'm falling apart. My job is wearing my down and my life is just a shambles. The only good thing init right now is my baby and my husband! Who I just want to give an amazing life. I shouldn't be feeling this way at 21!!!!!

RANT OVER!

I'm sorry but has anyone been in my situation and actually gotten out of it!?

Hi there OP,
You've had some good advice here, fortunately. It would be lovely to get your situation more organised before Christmas, we're sure. It's lucky that little children will be happy with very little.
We hope you don't mind, but we have a post that we put on threads in circumstances like this, just to remind everyone that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been around. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.

So we always ask everyone to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are - and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong.
