Your Question:
how can i afford treatment when i'm already in debt?
Answer:
My friend, I can relate to the struggle of being in debt. As a pastor, I've seen many people in our community struggle with financial burdens. One thing that comes to mind is that credit can be a trap. When you're already in debt, it's hard to see a way out. But, I believe that with careful planning and a commitment to change, it's possible to get back on track. One thing that might help is to take a close look at your budget and see where you can cut back on unnecessary expenses. As the Bible says, "You shouldnt buy stuff if you dont have the money." (Steve Martin's skit, Dont buy stuff you cannot afford). This means being honest with yourself about what you can afford and making sacrifices if necessary. It's not always easy, but it's a necessary step towards getting out of debt. Another thing to consider is seeking help from a financial advisor or credit counselor. They can help you develop a plan to pay off your debt and get back on track financially. And, as my wife Susan always says, "When you're in a hole, stop digging." (laughs) It's a simple but wise saying that reminds us to be careful with our finances and not to make things worse by taking on more debt.
