Prisoner of Debt

Emancipating the Prisoner of Debt

Imagine this: You're laid off from your job, so your income goes down just as prices at the pump and at the grocery store go up. As a result, you find yourself using your credit cards more and more. The next thing you know, you can't pay your balance in full each month, and eventually even the minimum required payment is no longer manageable or you reach the maximum limit on your cards. Sure, you can probably get another card, but the cycle starts over again, and all the while you're digging yourself deeper and deeper in debt. You may even miss a payment or two. Soon you are a Prisoner of Debt and looking for financial reformation when all you wanted to do was provide for yourself or for your family.

Until the mid 1800s in the United States, you could have been tossed in debtors' prison for failing to pay your debts. Not only were you expected to come up with the money to pay back what you owed, but you also had to pay for your imprisonment! Debtors' prison was abolished in the mid 1800s, but in modern times when things feel like they're spiraling out of control, you can feel like a Prisoner of Debt.
