Today we’re talking about debt, and the various ways it can impact your life if you don’t or are unable to manage it effectively. But first, a quick definition of what debt is:

“Debt is an obligation that requires one party, the debtor, to pay money or other agreed-upon value to another party, the creditor. Debt is a deferred payment, or series of payments, which differentiates it from an immediate purchase.” So an immediate purchase would obviously be paying with cash or debit.

This will be a podcast series that is loaded with great advice, and we want to above all things leave you with a sense of hope, if you recognize yourself in this discussion.
