Debt - The Long Term Effects

Ignore the thumbnail as though this pretty much applies to everyone who's ever gone through life on earth. Debt poses some amount of risk to a person's well being, that's both physically and mentally. I'm compelled to write on this topic because a couple of weeks ago I ran into a $500 debt, yikes, that's hot cash you all. I figured something along the lines of running a couple of offline investments, when the workload became too much, I began reassembling my investors and paying back as agreed. Then it went down to the last personality which happened to be a close relative.

One thing I derived from this little experience was the fact that, a debt is a debt, whether big or small, it's most times difficult to pay back. Obviously I had the cash to make refunds, but greed held such great power that I began imagining what great numbers I could make out of $500, and I still repeat, that's hot cash!

Debt - The Long Term Effects

Debt and sustainable finance don't add up. Debt creates an invisible wall that directly affects one's efforts to progress. This made me realize that there's quite a huge difference between working to be paid and working to pay back. The first one comes with excitement, all happiness in doing a job is found there, but the other is just a burden one has to deal with in order not to get into bigger problems. We see this roll out in our everyday day lives, take a country like Nigeria for a example, the nation is rich yet in debt The ability to actually stay productive isn't found in a nation that has made it a habit to borrow to fix every little thing that arises. You'll figure that when you spend your first days borrowing, you spend the last days paying back, then die unfulfilled, sad shit.

How does one avoid being in this position?

Borrowing money to do things comes with its own flaws, there's no discretion to venturing into business with borrowed capital. The first problem that occurs is the inability to build that business appropriately, this because of concerns of failure. People are usually very worried about every little move they make when they are constantly reminded of the fact that they are working with cash that ain't theirs. These concerns cause a blockage in proper passage of knowledge, as such, one isn't quite able to build the aspired business. Not falling victim to borrowing is obviously the first way to avoid debt, the less you borrow the happier you live life.

The second is never to start a business where your capital isn't at least 70% of other's investments. This is very crucial for people who open up investment slots when setting up a business. Take all the crypto Hacks that we've all experienced, if these affected chains weren't a handful, the programs of paying in compensation wouldn't be possible. It's funny but in other words, what this means is that your pocket has to be heavier than your investors' cases.

Running into debt is like running into death, it's a doom run that only takes grace to get out.

I am all too familiar with this. We took out a loan against our former home for me to buy in to a business that failed miserably. That and the fact that the company my husband worked for laid him off a couple of times was a huge burden in our lives. Working to pay off debt is definitely no fun at all. That is why building a business from nothing here on Hive is so amazing. You don't need any investors or even anything out of your own pocket to get started.

Debt is a crisis as far as I know it. One must do as much as possible to avoid it

Oh yes! I had a job last year that I quit in the first week because it was supposed to be customer service helping people place orders for the holidays. They were forcing us to upsell people like crazy and push them to take on the credit and payment plan. The interest was insane. I couldn't do that! It just didn't feel right. My husband feels the same way so he was supportive of my choice! Have a great weekend! 😀

I agree debt is a bad thing. Not to mention very expensive, I can't believe some interest rates are 29.99% which is pretty crazy considering most banks barely pay 1.5% interest on your holdings :-)

Banks take way more than they give, nobody cares about their interests, no one is foolish to believe it's tangible in any way...

I was pretty legit on my finances. Minimal debt. And then medical issues started occurring in my family. My savings has been wiped a couple of times because of those damn medical bills. It's the worst one to get rid of in my opinion. The worst part about medical bills is the red tape.

Sorry to hear that, you're right, medical shits can be draining, imagine already being in debt and get caught up in both shoes, that entanglement is just fucked...

Oh, yes. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. And they don't care either. They'll deny you service if you start to fall behind.
