You know what this is. You have a pile of books you want to read. And the pile keeps growing.
The only way to pay off the debt is read through the pile, but the pile keeps growing.
Your unread to read ratio far exceeds your capacity to keep up.
The pile starts to stress you out.
You start reading only to get through books, not because you enjoy them.
Interest keeps growing. The pile gets bigger.
You must stop going into debt. You must pay down the principle.
Stop going to the library. Stop buying books.
There is book debt forgiveness. You can hold that book that’s been in the pile for ages and ask yourself the hard question: Will I read this? If not, either donate it, return it, or shelve it.
Do yourself a favor and read down your book debt.
