Another debt disaster

Well done on your perseverance and paying off the debts. Reading through the thread the debt seemed overwhelming and you had to live a very frugal lifestyle just to tread water which is hard month after month.
 
Fair play. Hats off to you both.
Sounds like a long road but you kept at it and you should be proud.

Next step is share this experience with your children so they never find themselves in the same situation.
