Firstly, I was offered a better-paid job but needed a vehicle to get there, so I took out a loan to buy one. At the same time my credit card debt was slowly creeping upward too thanks to my minimal income. That meant no vacations, no new clothes, no eating out, nothing. Initially it all seemed fine.
