- Justin Granovsky, an assistant manager at a small retail shop in Morgantown, West Virginia, has an unusual amount of debt. He owes $5,400 to one bank, $1,800 to a clothing store, $2,700 to his credit union, and several hundred dollars to other stores and individuals. Justin is paying more than $460 per month on the three major obligations to pay them off when due in two years. He realized that his take-home pay of slightly more than $3,100 per month did not leave him with much excess cash.
