Would you spend a week in jail

[Mrs. Darcy]

Would you spend a week in jail if it meant having all your debts taken away, including mortgage, car notes, student loans, credit cards etc?

Depends. State or County?

 

[marymouse]

Yes and I don't even owe a huge amount of money to some people but to me it is always there. To wipe it away would be very freeing even if it meant giving up freedom for a week. I'm kind of being imprisoned by my debt anyway.

 

[Liberty Belle]

Would it be on my record and hurt me as far as jobs, etc? If not, then heck yeah! I'd love to be free of the mortgage!

Me. too!

 

[Mrs. Darcy]

Depends. State or County?

Didn't think of that!

I was telling my husband I'd spend a week in jail if it meant having our car loans, student loans and credit cards dismissed. We don't have a mortgage but that would be a major one to get rid of, worth it to me spending a week in orange! He looked at me like I was nuts.

No record, just the time.

 

[golfgal]

Sure, why not--it's just a week. Even if it went on your record it would be easily explained to any potential employers.

 

[shortbun]

No. I've been to the jail to pickup people and I would not want to spend a week with any of those people including the people I was giving a ride. I have no debt, no mortgage but I've had bad debt and I don't think even then I would have done it.

 

[threecrazykids]

SIGN ME UP TODAY! I'd do it in a heartbeat! This coming from someone who's never been arrested and pretty much would BAWL MY EYES OUT if it ever did happen!

But to rid myself of debt I'd do LOTS of things I wouldn't normally do!

Along the same lines...we play this game at work all the time "what would you do for a million dollars" and I've come to realize I don't have a whole lot of boundaries. I'm in on just about every single thing thrown out there.

I look at it this way...a million would buy me enough therapy to get over what I did for that million.

 

[Robinrs]

No, because I have 1 year left on my car note, no student loans, $1000 in credit card debt and no mortgage.

But then again I'm old as dirt...

 

[LuvCuteBoys]

No way.

 

[ReneeA]

Heck yes, and I'd send my DH to prison for a month to get some money back in my savings (we just closed on a second home, and I drained my accounts).

 

[MomNeedsVacay]

heck yeah

 

[doxdogy]

Don't foget Club Fed too.

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Depends. State or County?

 

[dislaney]

No way, no how! I won't even spend a week camping!

 

[Handbag Lady]

Yes, if I can include my mother's debts, too.

 

[mommy2allyandaveri]

Heck yea, if all of the above were true. I would max out all my cards the day before going into the slammer though Disney cruise here we come!

 

[snarlingcoyote]

Heck yea, if all of the above were true. I would max out all my cards the day before going into the slammer though Disney cruise here we come!

Yeck yeah! And I'd close on one of the pretty plantation houses up in St. Francisville right before I went in.
