"Hi my name is John Niemira and I want to talk to you today about some of the effects of being in debt. If you're watching this video I think you know the effects of being in debt. It's terrible for your credit, something hard to get out of. When you get a bad mark on your credit it could stay on there for 7 to 10 years. The calls that you might get from creditors, just the feeling that you get inside that you know that you owe and you really want to get out of debt. I suggest that you get rid of those credit cards, try some ideas like consolidation, put some money away for paying off that. Look for different loans that are available to pay that off, maybe borrow some money from some relatives. But the effects can be terrible for your health, for your financial well being, when you buy that house or that car and you go out there and they tell you your credit rating is low or you have a problem there, then it's not only hard on you it's embarrassing, it's hard on your family, all the things that go along with credit. Learn your lesson, get out of debt, get everything paid off. If you need anymore information on this subject or any other subject in the business field, my e-mail address is jniemira@gmail.com."
