Credit cards. Tax debt. Business obligations. And no clear path forward.

In this episode of The Debt Hotline, George is joined by attorney Greg Anjewierden to walk through one caller’s overwhelming situation and the real options available when the numbers feel impossible.

Because when you’re staring at five figures of debt (or more), the question isn’t just “Can I pay this?”

It’s: Where do I even start?

The bottom line
When debt snowballs, it can feel like there’s no exit. But there is always a next best move. Whether it’s structured settlement, strategic negotiation, or bankruptcy protection, the worst thing you can do is freeze. The right strategy depends on your numbers — and your goals. You may feel stuck. You’re not.
