Household Debt will be the Next Pandemic
How to reduce your debt and stay ahead of trouble
Debt is a worldwide problem that affects more than seventy percent of the world’s population; a number that truly boggles the mind.
Whether it’s because of trend-loyalty or pandemic related unemployment, more and more people are living outside their means.
For some people, they accept debt as a norm; trying not to put too much thought into it. They continue to live their daily lives while the debt sits there, growing and eating away at their hopes for a better life and the possibility of achieving their goals.
We live by the logic that having debt is normal, that it’s just a part of life. You have student loans, car loans, credit cards, and a mortgage, and that’s just the way it is. The Global consumer debt tally as of 2020 is currently standing at $253 Trillion, which goes to show the true scale of the problem.
