SIGNS
How Much Is Too Much Debt? When do you know you're in trouble?
m
ost South Africans carry some amount of debt — often a lot of it. Getting into debt is easy, but realizing you've taken it too far takes courage and strength. Many of us might juggle a mortgage, car payment, and student loans without feeling overwhelmed. But if you've ever struggled with a crushing amount of debt, you know the sinking, desperate feeling that follows you wherever you go. You know what it's like to wonder how you got in this position — and how it feels to worry that you'll never dig your way out. Some people don't realize they have too much debt until they actually reach rock bottom, or until their everyday lives become impossible.
