I thought I was rich. Every day, banks would call me, sending me emails and letters in the mail, offering me more credit cards and more lines of credit.
I started to believe that I had made it, that I was finally part of the upper class. I was so excited, I wanted to sign up for as many credit cards as I could.
Signed for whatever and whoever that came
I started signing up for every credit card offer I received. I quickly maxed out all of my available credit lines and I was living the high life.
I had enough money to buy whatever I wanted and I was finally living the life I had always dreamed of.
Started to fall into debt
But then, reality started to set in. My bills started piling up and I realized that I had made a mistake. I had taken on more debt than I could afford to pay back.
I started to panic. I was in way over my head and I had no idea how I was going to get out of the financial mess I had created.
I tried to make some changes, but it was too late. My credit score was in the gutter and I was unable to get any more credit cards.
I was stuck with the debt I had and no way to pay it off. I had to declare bankruptcy and lose everything I had worked so hard for.
I had thought I was rich, but I was wrong. All of the credit cards and lines of credit I had taken out had only led me to financial ruin.
I had thought that I was rich and that I could handle the debt I had taken on, but I was wrong.
