Debt Load

Warning signs

It's hard to admit when you're having a problem with debt. This is natural. Debt can be painful. Here are some things that might indicate you're headed for trouble:

  • Next month's bills are here before you've paid last months.
  • You get frustrated when you start to write checks. There are more bills than you thought.
  • You know what past-due notices look like.
  • You get an overdue balance on a credit card statement.
  • You avoid opening letters.
  • You rarely keep a running balance in your checkbook.
