      Yep, just declare bankruptcy at that point. Your health isn't worth destroying yourself to pay a banker.

    Honestly I think advising young people not to get credit cards is not ultimately helpful. The better advise is to have a credit card that gives good cashback for gas. Use it only for gas ever and pay it off every paycheck you get before you buy anything else.

    This is a good video on responsibility for young borrowers. I do think you should make a flip side for for the yoyng about bankruptcy. The older generations and financial institutions have really propagandized that bankruptcy is terrible for YOU the consumer, but its actually the best for the consumer and worst for the lenders. If tbe people based on your ecamples are that far behind on CCs, you should really just file bankruptcy.
    Lenders will typically stary throwing you offers 6-18 mknths after discharge.
    FHA mortgage can be attained agyer 2 years.
    Traditional mortgage after 4 years.
    Now, most people with enough debt to now be in default will most likely have no decent way to get out of debt in 2-4 years. So whivh option is truly worth it? I know Im not ever going to side witb a multinational banking conglomerate lmao

      Why did you not declare bankruptcy? You've spent 4 years breaking your body and losing time for yourself and (possibly) your family. 4 years after bankruptcy you can qualify for a traditional mortgage and even sooner if you don't already own a home, you qualify after 2 years for a FHA mortgage. Credit card lenders start throwing you offers typically 6-18 months after your discharge.

    Lifestyle expenses are experiences. A debt with interest on your credit card is just a number on a paper once a month, something abstract, distant. The ordinary consumer starts with a disadvantage here. You're right, paying expenses with cash partly bypasses this trap (and it will be more efficient if you create at least 3 different banking acounts, one for monthly expenses+grocery, one for emergencies and one for the discretionary expenses, and then fund the two first in full before putting money in the third one).
