Make Love, Not Debt

"Him" and "Her" are an anonymous couple who used to have a LOT of debt. They used credit cards to buy expensive things they didn't need, like $200 rocking chairs and new stereo speakers, and took out student loans to pay for college.

Seven years into their relationship they realized they had never really talked about money. So even though they had almost $160,000 worth of debt between them, neither one of them knew how bad it was. When they finally sat down to figure it out, Her was the first to reveal just how badly she was in the hole. It was not pretty.

Him and Her write about getting out of the hole at their relationship finanace blog Make Love, Not Debt. They were originally interviewd back in April of 2008, before they were debt-free.
