Do you have debt you want to pay off? I am starting a debt elimination support posting/group, but I need to know if there is interest. Please let me know in the comments if you would like to participate in something that could help you get out of debt. It would be structured in such a way that you would not be putting up your personal details, but using percentages instead. I want people to be able to track their progress publicly and set goals and have accountability, but not be exposed in a personal way. Comment if you are interested! #debtfreeme
