They come from all over the country but have one thing in common – debt. Dozens of people revealed their financial situation for a photography project, with some almost $1million in the red.
This is a snapshot of some of the people, how much debt they have and what the debt is for:
- August, 27 yrs old, $31,000 credit card debt used to pay for college
- Katye, 25 yrs old, $130,000 due to medical bills, student debt and parents using her identity
- Grace, $75,000 due to years of accumulated debt, including car loans and household needs
- Mike, $160,000 for student loans, bad real estate deal and unemployment
- Shareen, $10,120.98. Used to be $20,000 but has slowly been paying it off. Debt because of frivolous spending when given a high credit line.
These are just a few of the people they highlight.
