Sell your CD collection? Car? An organ? How far would you go to pay off debt? MyBankTracker asked people with an average of 35-grand in student loans some questions to see just far they’d go to get rid of their school debt.
- 55% of respondents said they’d gladly exchange their debt for being followed by the paparazzi everywhere they went.
- 43% said they’d purge half of their possessions in return of a purging of all of their debt.
- 38% said they’d partake in a questionable health study — that is, serve as a guinea pig for a drug that has not received FDA approval.
- 30% said they’d sell an organ if it meant getting rid of their debt.
A better idea? Try talking to a financial counselor to see if you can consolidate your debt and/or get a better interest rate before you resort to something drastic.
