How do you deal with debt struggles?

Does anyone else avoid automatic payments? I’ve heard some people don’t use them because of irregular income or fear of bounced payments. Is that true?

Yeah, people in tight financial situations often avoid auto-pay to prevent overdraft fees. It’s just less risky for them.

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining!

I think people need to be more rational about money. Letting emotions dictate financial decisions often leads to poor outcomes. It’s all just numbers to me.

It’s not that simple for everyone. Emotions can be a big factor, and ignoring them doesn’t help most people stick to a plan.

@Sloan
True, but learning to manage those emotions and focus on the bigger picture is really important. It’s not about ignoring them but challenging yourself to grow.
