I was renting an apartment and sub-renting to another student. When she decided to move out I was sunk. Could not pay all the rent myself. Put stuff on a credit card and I still have a bad credit rating &#8211; even though my own checks on it say I have nothing bad. That was over 10 years ago. I wish I had been able to finish college, Corporate Communications. But, here I am. I keep my head above water and my only current debt is a department store credit card which was over $2000 but this tax season I used my refunds to pay it off, mostly. So, I&#8217;m mostly debt free but I don&#8217;t have a car or anything much to show for it. I wonder if it&#8217;s better to have the debt than to not have the debt?<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/thatgrrl.com\/site\/index.php\/2012\/show-us-your-debt-xojane\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to Show Us Your Debt! | xoJane\"><p>SHOW US YOUR DEBT!
