Debt management is not easy. A man who was once hailed as ‘the best Chancellor since the Second World War’ got Britain so far into a financial quagmire that the country was brought to its economic knees. Countries like Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain are said to have spent more than they have earned for thirty years and America has a budget deficit of billions of dollars.

If countries like these cannot find solutions it is not surprising to find that the plans of ordinary citizens are occasionally found wanting. Like countries, individuals can be tempted into indulging themselves by buying what they cannot really afford.

A famous father offered his son the advice to ‘neither a borrower nor a lender be’ in Shakespeare’s play, ‘Hamlet’. Being quite an astute business man and property investor himself, Shakespeare probably understood the hollowness of this advice. Debt management is in fact an essential part of any vibrant economy. Without it capital projects would not get off the ground and people would not be able to buy homes.

It is faulty control that mires people and countries in serious financial difficulties. When money is borrowed under circumstance where repayment will be possible within reasonable time limits it can boost economic progress. When it is borrowed recklessly without any reckoning of how it is to be repaid disaster beckons.

In the post modern era employment was readily available and people were well paid. High monthly salaries guaranteed credit either in the form of cards or accounts. Western governments favoured this because it generates taxes. In the East people tended to save, but in western countries people borrowed heavily and indulged themselves. In some cases millstones were carried around for life.

Legislation now exists to protect both debtors and creditors. By submitting to debt management plans individuals who have become mired in financial problems may get professional help. Counsellors can arrange reasonable repayments after living expenses have been taken into account. This is immensely to the benefit of both creditors and debtors.
