Drowning in $50K Credit Card Debt While My Job Drains Me 😩

I'm Sarah, a 34-year-old project manager living in Chicago. My husband and I bring in about $140K a year, but we're buried under $50K in credit card debt. Every month, $1,500 just disappears into minimum payments, and those 20% interest rates are killing us. Work is stressful enough—tight deadlines, office politics, and a boss who expects miracles. But what really keeps me up at night is knowing we have almost nothing saved for emergencies. I keep hearing how important it is to have cash set aside, but with these numbers, saving feels impossible. I feel stuck. Should I focus on paying off debt, or is it smarter to build up some savings first? Has anyone else been through this? I could really use some advice from people who get it. 🙏 #DebtStruggles #WorkStress #FinancialAdvice #JobCareer
