Debt have really played a role in affecting most people financial progress and this is because of the inability to sustain or manage an income which probably is not enough to settle what you need money for. It can push people to go into borrowing which at the end of the day leads to debt.
There are so many situations that can push people to go into debt, some might be intentional while some can occur unexpectedly. We need money everyday because there are things we really can't do without as humans if money is not involve. We need to feed on a daily basis which means food is important and we need to get them.
We need shelter and other important things to maintain a good way of living but when money is not involve it becomes a problem. This have push people into debt that some even become a burden to bear because of the inability to pay back.
We have apps now where people borrow money and this helps but have it positive and negative part. It positive part to borrow is that it will help you sustain what you really need the money for even if it can't settle or your needs. While the negative part now is that there is an interest rate to pay back which means the money you borrowed will have an extra cash to be added in other to pay back.
This I would say might really not be a problem for who have an income to pay back but it will be a major problem for who is still struggling financially because when the time for the money to be paid back is required, it becomes a double problem because you still need money to cater for your needs and then there is a debt to pay.
The distraction and challenges
Debt is really a big challenge and a distraction to maintain a good financial lifestyle because instead of planning to build a way of progressing financially, it is diverted to balance debt that may not make an individual think positively on how to go about life.
However there are many situations like I said earlier that can get people to be involve in debt. Though for some people, it might really not be a problem but it is a problem especially when they are controlling businesses. We have people who borrow just to support their business and after the whole sales they decide to pay back and borrow again.
Who benefits more from this
When people borrow to support a business, have we really consider to know who benefits more from this act of doing so. We might think that it is really helping to support your business but main looking at it, your using your business to work for somebody else.
My point is when people borrow there is always an interest rate attached to pay back which will really make such people who borrow try to make that possible by actually making that money to pay back. The gain they are suppose they get for themselves is been achieved by someone else, so it is really not favourable to borrow.
Debt is a disadvantage in securing financial progress for humans, we just need to work hard in other not to be in such situation to avoid regrets in the future.
