Sounds like you have had quite a struggle, it is great that you have started managing your money now. I definitely think that it is time that home economics classes were replaced with home finance ones.

Live and learn. Most blog readers had the realization that they needed to handle money differently and it is all up hill from there.

I feel your pain on the car payment. My pain is from the credit card and it is in the same ball park...

If you really feel the drive to prevent others from making the same mistakes you did, in addition to the blog, you could teach a class at your local community center. Hey, you might even be paid for it! Or, even better, you could volunteer with an organization like Jump$tart, which helps teach kids financial literacy. You'll feel good and beef up your resume.

Even if you don't do either, this blog is very edu-ma-cational already... so thanks. :-)

So are you going to do the Dave Ramsey thing? :)

I think your idea about turning money into a video game is a smart one! That's just what it is: a game.
