Can debt make you sick? In a poll released by CNN today, it appears that debt can make you physically sick. According to the results of the survey, when people are dealing with mountains of debt, they are much more likely to report health problems. The health problems are not just problems sleeping; they can also be severe ailments like ulcers, severe depression, and even heart attacks. |
The results of the survey don’t surprise me. Even though the survey was done in the United States, it could just has easily have been done here in Cambridge, Ontario. Over the years I have met with hundreds of people who are burdened by the stress caused by their debts.
For many people, the stress gets to be so great that they can’t work, and of course not working makes the debt problems even worse.
Fortunately, there are options available. You do not need to suffer alone.
Some people benefit from credit counselling. In Cambridge you can contact Anthony Benedetto via the Family Counselling Centre of Cambridge and North Dumfries web site, or by phone here in Cambridge at 519-621-5090 Ext 260. Anthony will meet with you and help you decide how to deal with your debt.
Of course you can also call Howard Hayes or me, Douglas Hoyes, here in our Cambridge office at 519-622-3773. We will review your situation and help you decide whether or not a consumer proposal or a personal bankruptcy in Cambridge is the right answer for you.
My point is this: yes, debt is very stressful, but you do not need to suffer alone. There are options, so give us a call our Cambridge office at 519-622-3773 or 310-PLAN, or e-mail me your question and let’s get started.
