Addressing Business Debt

A caller seeks advice on managing business debt totaling $95,000, primarily from credit cards and loans related to operating a landscaping business. Despite generating a good income, he expresses frustration as his profits always seem to vanish, contributing to a cycle of debt. The advice provided emphasizes the importance of reassessing financial decisions, particularly a recent $30,000 truck purchase made in a panic after an accident. There's a strong recommendation to sell the second truck immediately, which could alleviate a significant portion of the debt and push him towards a more debt-free future.
