Dear Debt,

When we met fourteen years ago, you were the thing of my dreams. You provided me with nice belongings, took me nice places, and made sure my needs were met, especially in emergencies. You were there every step of the way during college and on into adulthood.  You provided me with nice cars and even a house that I adore and love!

However, you’ve become a burden. I am tired of you having “first dibs” on the income I work 40 plus hours/week for. I’m tired of thinking of you all the time and how I can get rid of you. You have begun to drain me, my paycheck, and my life. I no longer wish to have the gifts that you provide because I’m aware that it requires me to give more than you have ever given me. I’m so unhappy with you.

As a result, I’m cutting all ties to you.  I know it’ll take time but I’m committed and focused!

Sincerely,
Soon to be free from you!

P.S. Did you know I could have had everything that you’ve given me without you? Go figure!

Melanie

This is great! I love the reconition of what debt provided but also that the cost and burden wasn’t worth it. It’s going to be a great day when you’re completely free from that debt! Awesome!
