I was really stupid when I was 18. I moved out of my mom's house (not by choice) and lived with my boyfriend while I was still in high school. I had trouble paying my bills and getting the things that I deemed "Necessities" at the time (cloths, food, whatever) so I used as many credit cards as I could get my hands on to help get me by. The trouble was I couldn't keep up with all of the payments so I stopped paying quite a few of them. Eventually I paid most of them off which was a big rip off to me considering all of the interst and finance charges and late payment fees that I acrued, but I still have a couple to go. I am 26 now, I have a family and I'm paying a ridiculous amount of money to rent an apartment. My goal is to finish up paying my existing debt in the next 2 years. I'm too afaid to check my credit score but I'm afraid that it'll stop me from getting a home. I've become really good at paying my bills however, their all in my boyfriend's name to increase his credit.
