“I am engaged to be married to a great guy. Problem is, he doesn’t know that I’m up to my ears in debt. I was made redundant two years ago, and I had to max out three credit cards and take out two credit union loans to survive.
“Now that I’m working, my salary can barely pay the minimum required to pay off these debts. I’m too ashamed to tell my fiancé, as he may think I’m not financially stable and reconsider our wedding.”
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Being without a job for an extended period can send practically anyone into debt overdrive. Give thanks that you’re back into the world of a steady paycheck!
However, your past financial woes are not going to disappear by pretending that they never existed.
