To clarify… Is this debt we plan on paying back?
If by “happily” you mean willingly and without reservation, then medical care for a loved one.
My answer is the same as @canidmajor ‘s. I wouldn’t say happily but of course I would do it.
Pretty much house. Or anything they can take back.
I put a bunch of dental work on a credit card and then stopped opening letters from the credit card company. It has been a decade so my credit is good now.
A move out of Trumpland, BFE, Illinois for our child.
I’d go with house or something that retained value so it could be resold – hopefully at a profit.
I thought about @canidmajor ‘s noble answer and realized i wouldn’t even do that for myself. I would not put my family in debt to save others or myself. .
There’s the difference between us, @LuckyGuy, at this point I’d only be putting myself into debt.
@canidmajor Remember the adage “In case of emergency attend to your own oxygen mask before assisting others.”
PMing you now.
@LuckyGuy :: you do realize that tons of debt doesn’t land you in the gulag. It might make it hard to finance a new car but the liver transplant is more important.
@AshlynM “tons of debt doesn’t land you in the gulag”. So true. If it weren’t we’d have a different Tweeter in chief.
Trump declared (business) bankruptcy at least 4 times with debt in the billions, screwing lenders, pension funds, contractors, painters, builders out of $4 – $8 billion – maybe much more.
House, business, education
