They don't have enough money to pay for groceries, but they have a 52" Plasma Screen TV.
You see what I mean, though -- he's not talking to me.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but what you just said pretty much summarizes why you're in debt. There is no 10 minute cure to your debt. He can teach you what to do, but you still need to do it.
If all he can tell me is to stop buying 52" plasma screen TVs, that's not going to help.

What makes you so sure? People here are always talking about money appearing out of nowhere.

To get rid of your debts, you must first take 100% responsibility for them.
I know. I have worked my way up to taking a large responsibility for them. I still catch myself blaming everyone else and resenting the firms to which I owe money, but I still know that I'm the one who spent money I didn't have. I don't need to hear anyone repeating that to me over and over at this point. We're past that point. It's demoralizing.

I have a big screen TV.
I have an Xbox.
I have a Nintendo Wii.
I have a Playstation 3.
I have 2 cars.
And I still have some debts.
Yeah, well, I don't have any of that stuff. Ok, technically I do have 2 cars. One is basically a lawn ornament, however.

I would highly recommend listening to YWIYC first though, before the audio's you started listening to though. They are meant to be listened to after you have a basic understanding of what he's talking about.
I am willing to listen to it. I still haven't figured out to get it, though. Is that a mental block?
