Default Living in Debt - Jobless with Bills

I used to owe 17000 in debt from my younger days. I have paid off 10,000 and I am very happy about it. I do have some new debt since I work at home. I plan to work very hard at a few different jobs and pay it all off soon. I just want to be clear of debt for the rest of my life if I can. Do you have alot of debt you need to pay off?

Default Re: Do you have a lot of debt?

right now I have about 5 credit cards and I owe a lot. I'm in a big debt because I got laid off and I have to pay the bills. I rent an apartment and I have to pay Con Ed and Co.

No but i can well imagine how difficult is the bad debt situation in life. I appreciate that you are trying to manage it well and doing multiple jobs to get rid off it as soon as possible. May God help you.

Nope, and I never plan on being in debt.
I cant even imagine how hard it must be to now you can't buy anything, especially if you have kids, knowing that you need to give every single penny you earn to the bank to pay off your debts. Thank the Lord for all of those many services now offers to help you with your debts.

Quite a lot. I owe the UK Government student loan repayments of about £15,000 (around $30,000). I am not concerned because the interest on my debt is tied to the rate of inflation, so I'll only pay back what I borrowed in real terms. The taxman deducts my loan repayments from my salary, so I barely notice paying them. Plus if I become unable to work due to permanent disability (or death) my loan will be canceled.
