The problem is, is that most of us in are in some *form *of debt even when it's not a *problem* ANY item not paid for is a debt. THIS means: A mortgage, A car on HP/ finance, Student loans, any items got from catalogues order paid for in instalments Any credit cards, any Credit at all, or Overdrafts. ANY item/ service paid in instalments that could be for example, paying for your new boiler every month with your energy company until it's paid off. I suppose you mean perhaps someone with debts that have got to a certain level where it's perhaps either out of control, so much debt it's unmanageable or someone on their way to bankruptcy. Debt that perhaps really has a big impact on daily living. Yes I WOULD question the commitment and stability of the person BUT it would depend on why they were in debt, how they are managing to pay it off, are they committed to paying it off, are they now being sensible with their money and what their plans are for the future. Only you can decide that if you want to be with someone and what your criteria is. I'd go out with them, and then IF it started to get serious, THEN I'd sit down, work out what I want, and then perhaps approach the person and ask a few light questions. Don't judge immediately just because someone mentions or admits they are in debt. Until you know what, why and how you won't fully know the situation. |
