Let’s take a simple example; you don’t have enough money and you want to live, you need food, clothes… this is life! Serious financial bumps can happen and circumstances can changes, you lose your job, health problems and you cannot afford to pay for the treatments etc.
There are hundreds of reasons to get into debt. But most people do not use debts to their advantage.
People suffer a lot of troubles with debts mainly because it is easy to borrow. Also people are sometimes fooled. For example some credit cards offer 0% or low interest for a limited time but when that period is over, you pay the regular rate usually in the high teens or 20%+ in some cases.
Another very frequent reason for racking up debts, people especially young, pretend or believe that they are managing their debts in the good way by paying the minimum amount every month without recognizing that paying the minimum leads to years and years to pay off a small amount that can be paid in few months.
Your ultimate goal should be to learn how to manage and create a debt reduction plan and become debt free.
Take this advice, do not ignore debts or it will only get much worse.
