From people who came through it
“When the debt first hit me I felt like I was going under. I kept it from my wife out of shame, which only made things heavier. What helped was finally telling someone. After that I sat down and wrote out every debt I owed, then worked out how to clear them bit by bit. It is slow going and some weeks are rough. Still, it can be done. Plenty of people have been where you are. Ask for help. Tell someone you trust. And just keep chipping away at it. That is where I am at right now.”
Sagar from Kathmandu · been through debt and money stress“If you're just starting this, the first thing I'd say is open the post. I know it's scary. I know the red letters make your stomach drop. But the not knowing is worse. Call someone, anyone: the city, a debt charity, even just a friend who can sit with you while you do it. You don't have to fix it all at once. Just start with one envelope.”
