If you are really serious about getting yourself out of the debt spiral, you will have to start making some reductions in your spending and begin to save money. It is simply not possible for you to continue spending wildly and at the same time improve your situation. Don’t get into the mindset of, “I’m already in debt, so a bit more won’t matter!” This is simply just using someone for your own advantage. It is understandable if you simply can’t make more than the minimum payments, but if you are not making payments even when you have extra cash, you are behaving irresponsibly.
