Have credit card bills you don’t want to pay every month? Here are some ways to lessen the burden and what happens when you don’t pay off credit card debt.
At points while reading this piece I had visceral discomfort. Not because of your ideas but because of what the information was challenging in me: some very deep sense of unworthiness if I even have debt that I am unsure of being able to pay off each month. Was that shame? And if so, how awful that it has become internalized! Like all effective oppression, if planted well enough, the external forces are almost not needed anymore to produce its effects on the intended subjects. Thank you for keeping insidious nature of the debt culture clear for your readers.
I found this article to be a very non-judgmental view of credit card debt. The suggestions offered provided some pro and cons for each. Hoping this helps others.
I really needed this today. I've been feeling a lot of shame over taking on debt and it's becoming clear my business isn't making enough to keep up with expenses, but it was that or take money out of retirement. It's fascinating how much this societal shaming drives what we do. Thanks for this insight.
I just wanted to say I don't think I've ever read something so straightforward, non-judgmental, and frankly helpful about money, debt, and especially credit card debt. So often it's really hard to find straightforward answers to what seem like very common questions when it comes to finances. That can make it hard to know if a choice is BAD bad, or just less than ideal, and the shades in between. I really appreciate the information and the tone.
