7 Step Guide To Drowning Yourself In Debt

So, you want to drown yourself in debt do you? Well, no problem because there's plenty of people willing to give you a helping hand and more than enough ways to satisfy your masochistic urges:

1. Spend $30-a-week on the lottery because the 120 Million to One odds are in your favour, not against you (of course).

2. Buy everything online and pay with your Paypal account. Well, it's not real money anyway is it?

3. Apply for as many credit cards as is humanly possible, max them out, transfer the balances at the end of the interest-free period to a new 0% card, then breathe a sigh of relief that you've paid them off.

4. Request all bills electronically because you're an eco-warrior and care about the environment and NEVER turn on your computer because you don't want to exceed your carbon footprint.

5. Do all of the above and turn on the telly to watch your latest fix of "Shopaholics". Then shake your head in disbelief and exclaim "How could anyone be sooo stupid to run-up all those bills?"

6. Borrow money from a reputable Payday Loan firm because it's not like they're a loan shark now are they?

7. Take a trip to Las Vegas using every last, red cent to your name, not to win a fortune in the casinos there. No. But to take your girlfriend (or boyfriend!) with you, praying that you'll bump into your own "Robert Redford" and that he will make you an indecent proposal.


Congratulations. You're officially over the edge and drowning in debt.




Clearly wallowing in debt is something that comes naturally to you. You might consider doing it slightly less though. Take a look at the ZILS Report.
