Don't let debt worries control your life. Work out if you have a problem and then deal with it.
Debt worries can control your life if you let them. You will know if you have a serious debt problem (you're missing payments etc.) and this IS something to worry about and take action to resolve. However I'm sure that there are lots of people that have significant levels of debt that can easily afford the payments but still spend a lot of time worrying about it.
Debt Worries - Don't Worry, Take Action
If you are worrying about your level of debt then take action instead. Do a full budget and look at ways that you can spend less so that you can pay off your debt more quickly. Investigate whether you can move any debts to get a lower rate of interest. Consider carefully whether a debt consolidation loan would be useful for you. Only take one on if you are sure that you can afford the repayments.
Consider whether it is possible or realistic to increase your family income to make paying off your debt quicker/easier. Here you need to balance the desire to pay off your debt as quickly as possible with not making your life too stressful though overwork.
When you have been through these steps and put a plan in place then relax as much as you can. If you are reducing your debt each month then you are doing well. Stress is bad for your health and could actually contribute to you losing your job. Trust in your plan and stick to it and you will free yourself of debt.
