CHICAGO , IL -- (MARKET WIRE) – December 21, 2006 -- Tricia and her husband live in a small town in Michigan .

They are in the hole over $25,000 – to be exact, it's $25,320. They have a 4-year old, a loan from Prosper.com and student loans burdens that made their debt swell. Their debt is down from a 2006 high of $37,000 set in February.

Do I have a crystal ball?

Because Tricia has a blog, her experiences are open for everyone to read about. All of her financial health is charted and graphed for the world to see.

These graphs show snapshots of how much they owe and when they are going to be debt-free. You can check this out for yourself at www.BloggingAwayDebt.com .

Blogs, like Tricia's, open a window into a person's struggles. CreditCard.org recognizes these bloggers as the “ Top 100 Blogs to read in 2007 ”.

Tricia states, “if someone takes one thing from my blog, it's the fact that you have to pick yourself back up when you fall”. See other blogs nominated for the national award:
