Keeping pace with our neighbors' lifestyle can easily land us in debt. But that's okay; the Internet has a solution for that, too.
Our last word in business today is Blogging Away Debt. That's the site of a 30-something woman who hopes that exposing her financial life will help her become debt-free.
She painstakingly charts each expense online. In a year and a half, she's paid off almost half of her more than $37,000 credit-card debt. She has also gained a lot of fans. But they need not fear the day she pays off the rest of the debt. They can turn to her other site, Blogging Away Fat.
