And don't tell me debt is not a big deal. Debt will cut off your legs and laugh at you as you grovel in the dirt begging for mercy. If you don't need it, don't get it. If you can't afford it, don't get it. If you're already in debt, get out quickly. If you think you'll never get out, you're right, you won't. Osayi Emokpae Lasisi
About This Quote

Using debt to advance your own selfish gains can be a dangerous and cruel thing. Debt can intensify feelings of helplessness, which can lead to feelings of hopelessness and depression. Those feelings will only push you farther into debt. When we see others in debt while we are not, we feel like we cannot be trusted and we begin to doubt our own ability to get out of debt.

The truth is that we can and we will. Debt will cut off your legs and laugh at you as you grovel in the dirt begging for mercy. We have all heard stories before about people who borrowed money from their family members or friends to pay off their credit card bills, only to incur even greater debt.

This is not a healthy way to go about paying off debts if it does not work for you.
