Margaret Atwood

I say to you never involve yourself in debt, and become no man’s surety.

Owing money has never concerned me so long as I know where it could be repaid.

Debt is the slavery of the free.

Debt is a mistake between lender and borrower, and both should suffer.

There are but two ways of paying debt-increase of industry in raising income, increase of thrift in laying out.

If Koboi defeats and presumably murders us both then you can consider the debt null and void.

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.

If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

I owe much; I have nothing; the rest I leave to the poor.

If there is anyone to whom I owe money, I’m prepared to forget it if they are.

We all think we’re going to get out of debt.

Promises make debt, and debt makes promises.

Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need most.

Speak not of my debts unless you mean to pay them.

Debt is dumb. Cash is king.
