What are debt burdens?

Debt burdens are like carrying extra backpacks full of stuff you didn’t have time to pack.

Imagine you’re going on a trip, and instead of packing just what you need, you grab extra snacks, toys, books, and even your brother’s shoes, all because you thought you’d need them. Now, every step you take feels heavier because of all that extra weight in your backpack. That’s kind of like having a debt burden.

If you only added one or two snacks, it might not feel too bad, like a small debt. But if you packed everything from the kitchen, your brother’s entire closet, and even his pet turtle, walking becomes a challenge, that’s a big debt burden.

You still get to enjoy the trip, but every step feels more tiring because of all that extra weight. That’s how debt burdens work: they make things harder for you, just like those heavy backpacks.
