Fear?

[Neo Emolga]

Going helplessly into debt. AKA Peniaphobia.

Debt just freaks me out. I hear horror stories of people with student loans, foreclosures, bankruptcy, and all kinds of other financial freak-outs and it makes me paranoid of the same thing happening to me. I mean heck, I couldn't even stand playing Animal Crossing with the whole debt thing hanging over my head like I might as well have slave tags and shackles on me as well.

Meanwhile, the $19 trillion US Debt really makes me feel like moving to another country, it's so bad. The total debt per citizen is currently $201K, which is something I could never even come close to affording if that kind of thing were to suddenly fall down on me.
