Managing Debt and Income Challenges
A caller discusses struggling with $50,000 in credit card debt after a breakup, citing problematic spending habits tied to the purchase of a home with his ex-girlfriend. He explains that he originally had the financial support of two incomes, but after their separation, he is responsible for the entire debt. His current income ranges between $4,000 to $6,000 a month, while his mortgage payment alone is $2,365, which occupies a significant portion of his take-home income. This situation is compounded by rising living expenses and an unclear plan to address his debt, indicating a need for a structured financial strategy.
