I mean "And making very little or no progress to paying it off". Everyone borrows money from the bank at some point in their life, usually so they don't pay more upkeeping a bad house or car. But if you're still in debt when you're 50, how are you supposed to live after you've retired?

You can file bankruptcy. However, I believe there have been seem recent technical changes to that. Luckily, most debt can not do much to you, except put leans on you. So if you so how magically managed to some how get a mortgage on a new home, that loan u did back in the past would then put a lean on it. However, they can not put a lean on many other things. Only the government can go that far, and that's because of taxes.
