My Debt? What?

I sure don't take pride in being in debt, but I do take pride in my ability to be so far in debt, and not file for bankruptcy. Unlike this one jackass who'll remain nameless. Look on the site, eventually I'll be talking about him someplace.

Note, I do not list my home mortgage here. I don't see a Home Loan as "debt" because you have an asset that normally offsets the debt 100%. I should be able to sell my house off to pay off the remainder of the loan at any time, unlike a car, a used lawn mower, or a child ;P

Who/What How Much +/- Why
Business Loan 24,955.72 -391.75 This business was closed, we still owed money... I say we... but now it's really me... cause the dick co-owner finked. Never trust a "friend"...
Mom 37,200.00 +150.00 Investment in above Business, and she helps pay the monthly payments on the loan because I can't afford them. That's why this one only goes up right now. On a good note, it's a partial retirement plan for her. :)
Car 16,600.12 -302.40 Cause I have to drive... however paying HORRIBLE interest rates because my credit sucks... which sucks because of closing my business... and then some jackass filing bankruptcy. Went up because I refinanced, which drove the amount up a bit, but lower interest rates, and overall lower payment in the end.
Dad 10,310.00 Investment in above Business.
Sears Card 800.00 -100.00 Refrigerator for my new house.
Visa Card 1,177.40 +412.54 Lawn Mower, Cordless Weed Eater/Edger, Lawn Stuff (grass seed, Hose). Bathroom Renovation materials (Paint, Brushes, Ladder).
Personal Loan 4,888.17 -71.07 Used for misc. expenses in moving, etc.
Personal Loan 200.00 -98.00 Used to buy a printer, a Hard Drive, and some other misc. computer parts.
Misc. Debt 2,713.42 -277.50 Basically this is an "anything else" section.
TOTAL 98,844.83 -678.18  
 

Decreasing my debt this much each month will take 145 Months, or 12 years, to pay off.

Lot's of people have suggested I file bankruptcy, but I could never bring myself to do it... Hell my mom and dad both had the courage to sink a lot of money in to my idea... and while it was a great idea, it just didn't work out and I'm a much better person for trying. I could never sink to not repaying them...
