I've lived 17 years of my life in poverty due to my parents dumb decisions. I refuse to let myself go down the poverty path, I can't afford to.

I'm now 19 years old, with 2145$ of credit card debts, 12,5% interests rate.

I have the bad tendency to overspend everything as I get money, because I've lacked so much as a kid.

I wanna know what may help for my mentality to change and, after my debt has been tackled, what to do to ensure a stable life.

Hello!

As a child/teenager, my whole day have been heavily centered around writing and reading. Now, I've lost that passion. The words used to elevate my curiosity day-by-day, but that feeling is lost. I want to gain it again.

I'm trying.

Sadly, each book that I'm currently picking up seems to contain some flaws that forces me to put it down on the spot. Am I repeating the wrong decision times and times again? Would it be more wise to accept some defects for the sake of finishing a book?
