The problem is that most people do not realize how much they can pay back, and that causes their trouble. It's the same with me, thankfully my boss gave me a bonus this month, but I am near my entire salary for my debt, not because of luxury or anything, it's medical bills I am paying, but it is still terrible calculation on my behalf, I should have taken long term loan, I just wanted to pay it and be done with it quickly, so that was my mistake, but after a few more months of terrible period, I will be done in a couple of months.
In the end, calculate how much you can pay back, you can always get a loan there is nothing wrong with debt, just realize if you can pay it fine or not, if you can pay it fine without trouble then getting debt is fine.
If you enter debt due to sickness it is another terrible problem someone can get himself into. although I know that some debt is just that there is not any other way than to take the loan, but the main thing is paying back. But you see your own problem is the medication, you know with the way things are going now maybe the loan will not even enough to get the medication you want to buy base one how expensive drugs are now. furthermore, the sickness may not be as one expect, so all this emergency stuffs are things that make someone go broke even if you are earning money.
