The other reasons of falling into debts may be un employment or losing a job. While having a good job with good pay scale we make expenses accordingly. It may be a wide house with a monthly mortgage. Some great drive with monthly car installment. Large credit card bills for grocery, gas and other unplanned shopping items. But suddenly you loose a job and loose monthly input on your income part.
