Quotes to ponder:

"It wasn’t his heart alone that killed him, it was his debt."

"If someone is using one credit card to pay the minimum payment on another, or taking out a cash advance on a card to make a payment, there are multiple problems."

"Don’t wait or sit back silently, hoping something will change. Become an agent of change. When you see the warning signs, speak up."
