Overeating, drinking was my daily go to. At the end of the day I drown my sorrows with a bottle of Pinot Noir and stuff my face with goat cheese smothered in hot jam and crackers only to wake up the next day chained with guilt and shame. Then I spend my days hustling at 4 jobs, chasing money to pay off the mountain of debt I had created. This addiction was the hardest to break. Buy now pay later, what a deal especially when interest was delayed for months. Addiction. It comes in all forms, but credit card debt? You know that $11.99/month app you haven't opened since spring? The free trial that quietly became $14.99 a month? The streaming service you forgot you had — twice? Me too. Mine used to be a yearly app subscription that hit every December like a surprise guest. Nothing big on its own. But add them up over a year and it's real money walking out the door every single month. The kind of money that could be paying down debt or building savings. I learned this the hard way. There was a time I was moving debt from card to card, taking out consolidation loans, even putting my car up as collateral working overtime and picking up side gigs to keep up. I thought it was a math problem. It wasn't. It was a pattern problem. I wasn't paying attention to what was leaving my accounts.
