Dogpaddling the Quagmire of Debt

I readily confess: I have succeeded in tumbling into the quagmire of debt.  It’s no one’s fault but my own and, as such, I freely accept blame.

At this stage of life, I earn a Comedy-Central salary (i.e. laughable).  In a quest to succeed as a writer, I accepted some “non-challenging” roles, including the current one.  I’d figured it would be short-term, and the last one in the corporate world.  After a decade, “short-term” is a done deal, but the “last” aspect is still possible. 

It’s all good.  A lot has been learned over the years and I’m all the wiser for it.

The one great thing about dogpaddling through a quagmire of debt: I can deal with the stress by eating a whack-load of chocolate.  Nummmmmm!  (There’s always a silver lining.)

You know what?  It may take longer to swim to the other side when you’re dogpaddling, but eventually, you do get there.
