“To my wife Claire, who stood by me through the rough times as well as the good, I leave you the house, the cars and $5 million.”

The lawyer continued, “To my daughter Sarah, who took care of me during my illness and kept my company going, I leave you the yacht, the business and $2 million.”

The lawyer concluded, “And, to my cousin Phil, who always hated me, argued with me, was envious of me, and thought I would never mention him in my will ... well, you’re wrong.

I AM A DEBTOR – JUDGE ME NOT

There’s a stigma associated with being a debtor – they are perceived as being irresponsible spenders who buy large screen TVS, luxurious furniture and expensive clothes, who rack up their cards until they’re maxed – you’ve seen them I’m sure. They should pay for their excesses….right?!

Let me tell you about the average debtor: they’re just like you! In fact given the right or, perhaps more aptly put, the wrong circumstances that debtor could be you! Most debtors have had something quite awful happen to them that has forced them down the slippery slope into the depths of DEBT. They never it saw IT coming and most would have said that they were responsible consumers until IT happened.

The debtor could be a friend, a relative or a neighbour but because of the stigma of debt, you may never know. Their debt is their secret. I hear it in their voices when they call me: the fear and the shame. Their voices beg me not to judge them – they need to tell their stories. The stories They worked are heart wrenching to pay the debt, and desperate. I feel so fortunate that they skimping on grocan share their deepest ceries, surviving secrets with me. on Kraft Dinner I hear stories of cancer, job loss, accidents, failed businesses and divorce. How they had nowhere to turn so they used credit cards to make ends meet, but month after month the debt grew like a shadow sneaking up in the night. One day they realized that everything they did revolved around the debt and they were in a hole so deep that no matter how fast they dug they were never getting out. They worked to pay the debt, skimping on groceries, surviving on Kraft Dinner (it fills the tummy), neglecting their health and their assets all to service that debt. Although debtor’s prison was abolished in the early 19th Century

– for the debtor their burden of debt is nothing more than a modern day debtor’s prison. Simply put, debt does not discriminate….people do!
