Unemployment Debt

I finally found a new job after losing my previous one.  While I was unemployed, I racket up an amazing amount of Credit Card Debt.  I could not find any other way to get buy than to use credit cards.  It was such a relief to find a job and know that I can now start making monthly payments.  This time I am going to pay off my bills and then begin a savings out of my paychecks.  Our economy is much too unstable for me to be irresponsible and not have a good savings.  It will help me in the future if I am ever in the same situation.
