Debt can be likened to a ticking time bomb when it's not managed properly. You as a person can be vulnerable to the ever evolving situations around you.
Just like my car. Even if I were to spend thousands of dollars on it, the system is still the vulnerable as it is susceptible to wear and tear. All it takes is for one part to falter and the whole car comes to a halt. You lost valuable time, money and energy. It creates unnecessary stress and anxiety for you and those on board.
How the problem get solved, depends on your proactiveness and decisiveness.
Normally, we just have to call the tow truck and have it towed to the workshop. BUT just imagine this happening, 300km away from Singapore, in Shah Alam, in the midst of a thunder storm, with passengers on board. The car seized to move. No aircon and you need to open the boot door so there is ventilation. Your main concern are the people in the car. How do they feel? Will they be ok?
Can you imagine the feelings and thoughts that were running through my mind? My mum has not eaten and she is diabetic. She is using a wheelchair so her mobility is a bit impaired, and it is impossible to walk in the thunderstorm to get food for them. I was worried that her sugar level might drop in the midst of getting a transport so they could proceed to our accommodation in the thunderstorm.
Now, take all those feelings and imagine having Debt Collectors knocking on your door every night? Or your partner opening the letter box just to find letters in RED demanding you to make payment on your outstanding loan?
Will you let your family go through those moments and making them anxious everyday?
I was feeling anxious and stressed for a few hours. But your family may have to put up with that emotions for days or even weeks.
Do you want them to go through that?
It is time for you to be proactive and act upon it.
Let's talk!
