Credit Card Debt Explained With a Glass of Water

https://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/mental-health-and-debt.php
Blake Hughes from CreditCards.com asked for me to post this here.

Here is a direct quote from
Blake Hughes Outreach Communications Director @ Credit Cards . com

‘Studies have shown that people struggling with debt are three times more likely to have a mental health disorder. Unfortunately, this means that veterans contemplating suicide are not only forced to manage their unique symptoms but are also much more likely to have difficulties managing their finances.’

–  Blake Hughes Outreach Communications Director @ Credit Cards . com


5 Sneaky Secrets That Credit Card Companies Don’t Want You To Know
Merritt, Hagen & Sharf, LLP.


If Debt is the Problem, Suicide is Not the Answer

Notes:
Credit card debt for those who don’t know is a revolving type of debt that still exists in the United States.
Thank you Blake Hughes and bless you for bringing this social issue to light.
