What would you do when in debt?

Borrow more and maybe put up a business or invest to earn more then eventually pay your debt afterwards 😎
Declare bankruptcy that’s what I’m doing currently now that I am $87,500 in medical debt. Welcome to America lol
If I was in crippling debt I guess I'd declare bankcruptcy. haven't had to face debt even close to that though and have been debt free for a bit. I paid off my car, but other than that haven't taken any loans or over-leveraged myself or anything like that.

I guess I would figure out if I can recover or if I need to declare or not. Then from there I'd rebuild with same career I'm in now, or potentially go for a riskier startup to try to cash out and pay it off before interest accrues.
Debt is something you can learn to leverage. I suggest looking into it.
Start work and save money so you can pay your debts
You could possibly do some balance transfers if you've got fair credit. Transfer to 0% and pay off the highest interest rate on your debt. It requires you to be fastidious, but it can work.

Do you think people should risk taking on additional debt at a better or 0% interest rate in order to satisfy existing debt - what about to invest that new money and possibly risk losses?
