Dante: 我欠68000美元的债务,其中50000美元已被银行注销,其余18000美元我仍在偿还。我想知道我该如何处理这50000美元的注销债务,以及是否有其他选择,例如破产或债务减免计划? George Kamel: 我不建议破产,因为这不会改变导致你负债的习惯,并且会破坏你的财务状况。与其破产,不如专注于如何通过调整收入和支出在18到24个月内摆脱债务。我们需要深入了解导致负债的原因,并制定一个计划来调整收入和支出,以便在未来18到24个月内还清债务。 Ken Coleman: 不要把自己看作受害者,要积极主动地解决问题。要认识到,在生意中遇到低谷是正常的,从中吸取教训,并制定计划来提高收入。为了摆脱债务,应该立即停止使用信用卡,并制定一个计划来偿还债务。为了摆脱债务,应该出售部分设备来偿还信用卡债务,并建立一个应急基金。为了摆脱债务,应该关注利润率,即收入与支出的差额,并通过减少支出和增加收入来提高利润率。为了减少支出,需要对支出进行审核,并找出减少支出的方法,例如减少外出就餐、准备家常便饭等。与其申请破产,不如制定一个计划,在两年内还清债务。这需要出售部分设备,并积极与债权人协商还款计划。需要积极主动地与债权人协商,争取达成一个有利的还款协议。
