This Dear Debt letter is from Kasey at Debt Perception. I love this poem and am so glad she is participating! If you’d like to participate and write a dear debt letter, contact me! Anonymity respected and you don’t have to be a personal finance blogger. I’m also interested in hearing from people who have recently become debt free.
Dear Debt,
This is a poem inspired by the infamous “10 things I hate about you” because it was just too easy to think of 10 things I hate about you (and Sallie Mae)!
I hate the way you balk over me,
and the way that you don’t care.
I hate the way you set the bar,
I hate it how you’re so unfair.
I hate your big dumb absolutes
and the way you rob me blind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even sucks my time.
I hate the way you’re always “right.”
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when your staff just laughs,
even worse when they make me cry.
I hate it when int’rest compounds,
and the fact that you’ll always call.
But mostly I hate that you just won’t go away,
not even close…
not even a little bit…
not even at all.
-Debt Perception
P.S. I still hate you.
