It's a healthy step that you are asking for advice but you don't give enough information to answer properly. How bad your situation is and how easy it is to fix depends on your ability to pay.

The only advice I will give you is to avoid debt. I've seen debt make my parents lives miserable their whole life and I vowed never to live the same way. While many people consider debt as bills, most people on the financial forums consider paying off debt to be the best investment and the cornerstone of their financial freedom.
