About me and my family.

Hello out there. I'm Sherry DelleCurti. I've been married to Frank for 17 years. We have one daughter, who is 8 going on 20. We waited 9 long years to become parents. We adopted Jenna as an infant and she has brought us great joy along with parental frustrations.

I wanted to write on our debt trip because it is something we personally have struggled with our whole married life. Yes, and we're still married. I'm hoping through my transparency that others can know their not alone; but also talking about it makes you deal with it.

How did debt enter my life? Well I am the product of divorced parents when I was 10. My mom remarried right away. My Dad never remarried. I was able to spend two days with him every week and He spoiled me. We always went out to eat (He doesn't cook). On birthdays, I learned "It doesn't matter what it costs, do you like it?" When I learned to drive my dad bought me my first 3 cars. And to be honest, He's helped pay for some of every vehicle since. On the other side of the coin my mom and my step dad never shared anything about money. So as you can see I've grown up with quite a distorted view of how money works. It hasn't been until my late 30's that I even realized I needed to figure this whole money thing out. I guess I'm a late bloomer.

So here we are on the debt trip.
