It is worth noting that it is not just our planning behavior that gets us into to trouble. Issues like not dealing well with emotional issues or trying to keep up appearances can also lead us into debt. @Diana – You are right, debt will most likely linger without changing our behavior.

I think this is the answer why some peoples never get free from debt. Very nice thought…So, to fix a debt we must also change our plannig behaviour beside paying the debt itself.

The mortgage company took advantage of me and gave me a high rate! The credit card company gave me a high interest card and made it too easy to spend! on and on. You are so right that people need to take a step back and actually look at the cause of why they are spending so much before they can get things under control. great post.. stumbled. people need to take responsibility for their problems – I think too often people take a victim mentality and blame everyone else.
