Is My Debt Manageable? The Answer Might Surprise You

Introduction

Debt can feel like an unscalable mountain—every statement a reminder, every interest charge a weight pulling you further down. It's easy to believe there's no way out, no path forward. But what if I told you that sometimes, the way you look at something changes everything?

At ZilchWorks, we hold firm to the belief that life is better without debt. This conviction is at the heart of everything we do.

The following poem captures the emotional rollercoaster of living with debt. It tells a story of despair—but it also carries a hidden message.

Read it from top to bottom, and then again from bottom to top. You might just discover a shift in perspective that sparks a glimmer of hope.


The Poem

I'm deeply stuck in credit card debt.
So don't try to convince me
I will rise above these bills.
Because at the end of the day,
I see no relief from these interest charges.
And I'm not going to lie to myself by believing
A clear financial path is in my future.
So rest assured, I will keep telling myself:
I'm overwhelmed and sinking further.
And nothing you say will make me think
I will regain control.
Because no matter what,
I will never overcome these balances.
And I am in no state to hope
Financial freedom is possible.
Because whenever I check my statement, I think:
Will I ever escape this burden?


Now, Read It Again... From the Bottom Up

Will I ever escape this burden?
Because whenever I check my statement, I think:
Financial freedom is possible.
And I am in no state to hope
I will never overcome these balances.
Because no matter what,
I will regain control.
And nothing you say will make me think
I'm overwhelmed and sinking further.
So rest assured, I will keep telling myself:
A clear financial path is in my future.
And I,m not going to lie to myself by believing
I see no relief from these interest charges.
Because at the end of the day,
I will rise above these bills.
So don't try to convince me
I'm deeply stuck in credit card debt.
