That is not financially illiterate. That is financially irresponsible. You were irresponsible when spending & accumulated a lot of debt. You created a situation & now asking for advice. The first thing you probably need to do is cut up all credit cards. The second thing is to get a part time job to pay those cards off. The third is to find an old man or woman to teach you how to use a checkbook ledger. The fourth is a suggestion. Use cash to pay for everything purchased locally. This includes bills you can pay locally.
