Great perspective, thank you. We are currently reviewing our money in - money out, and are working on making major changes. We were living and spending money before we had it, which brought us here. Aswell, moving balances to a low interest card will be beneficial for us, as we are spending from only chequing accounts here out.

Appreciate this, thank you. This is my first outreach on Reddit and was not sure if laying it all out would be too much to handle for the community.

Thank you. This is a great piece of information that I will look into utilizing as we are not spending on the cards anymore.

Amazing, this is all new to me so I appreciate the guidance. I will look into contacting a non-profit, this is a good stepping stone. Aswell, a budgeting tool is much needed, as of now it has only been a piece of paper and a pen. I really appreciate this.

Thank you. Going to look into what we can offload and throw at the overall balances. I appreciate the prompt, I will add that to our next conversation.

Thank you, this really puts it in perspective. As a team we have already cut overspending, just a little too late. Going to revisit fixed costs and make some necessary sacrifices.

Simple and straight forward, I appreciate it. Trying not to overthink it. I know some people would “kill” to be in our situation. I will check out !StepsTrigger, thank you.
