Well, I have to clarify that personally I have never had any loan or debt in my life so this thread has nothing to do with my experience but intends to find out how people in loan/debt deal with the problem. Let's say you take loans from a bank and sometimes for whatever reason, you can not pay the debt on time, then you borrow money from other channels. Sure this works for a certain period but later bad things may happen, you have to postpone the payment and struggle with finances again. Isn't this a vicious circle ? How would you deal with the problem ? I am all ears.
Here's how to manage debt, based on someone I know's experience. First, prioritize your debts. Tackle those with higher interest rates or legal repercussions, like bank loans, before addressing personal loans. Increase your income or, at least, reduce expenses by focusing on basic necessities. In emergencies, consider borrowing from someone who understands your situation and can offer a flexible repayment schedule. Don't run away from debt collectors. Face them honestly, explain your situation, and let them know you're actively working on repayment. Debt can be stressful, so minimizing it is wise, especially for non-essential purchases beyond your means.
