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

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. :-)

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...

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.
