    I’m in this boat too. I’m on track to pay it off completely by May but the damage is done: I clipped the card in two. I had originally used this card for emergencies and travel, but what happened is I used it to pay for a mover, and the debt has not moved much since.

    If I have to travel with a debit card, I will find a way.

    Looking at the debt numbers in the articles, I’m reminded of similar numbers before the 2008 crash and we are not in a place to recover if it happens again. Which it will.
