I'm a fake

[oceangirl]

All my friends think I'm so happy leading this simple life, not buying into the commericalization of things. I've worked as a waitress for years by choice, even with a college degree. The reality is at I wish I had more and a fiancially easier life. But for years I've been scared to really get out there and try to start a career. So much time has gone by now that it seems harder and harder. That and all my friends see me as this happy-go-lucky, independent spirit, kind of person. I'm in debt and its getting worse. I'm going to need to find a second job. I wish I wasn't in this position and its hard to know how to get out of it.

I'd suggest you try Debtors Anonymous. My older brother had a friend who got a lot of help by going to the meetings. As far as I know he's doing fine now.

I agree with Paddleon's advice Oceangirl. I think finding a Debtor's Anonymous group in your area would be a good start. I suspect you will find you are not alone.

Thanks for you post. I'm glad you have found the site and hope you will continue to visit.
