Each week, this absolutely fabulous show features the story of somebody who had the misfortune of either getting incarcerated in a foreign prison or kidnapped abroad and held against their will.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who haven&#8217;t seen it,<em> Locked Up Abroad<\/em> is narrated on-camera by the actual people whose story is being told. This first-person narrative not only gives the show an emotional kick that would otherwise be lacking, but it also effectively conveys the tension that these poor folks were feeling at the time of their ordeals. I always find myself squirming on the edge of my seat as their stories slowly unfold.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, a common thread that stands out in almost every episode is that most of these folks could have avoided their inglorious fates if they had only heeded the red flags that were flying all around them.<\/p>\n<p>If it weren&#8217;t so tragic it would be comical.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I entered Caracas International airport with 20 kilos of heroin strapped around my waist. Then I saw the drug sniffing dogs, relentless police presence, and even the paramilitary conducting on-the-spot body cavity searches. At that moment I <strong><em>knew<\/em><\/strong> I should&#8217;ve turned around and called the whole thing off &#8212; but then I took a deep breath and told myself to stop being paranoid because everything was under control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, those ex-cons featured in <em>Locked Up Abroad<\/em> aren&#8217;t the only ones who ignore obvious warning signs of impending doom.<\/p>\n<p>In the personal finance world, people routinely ignore red flags that suggest their financial situation is unstable and susceptible to collapse.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s important to know, considering that debtors&#8217; prisons still exist in the United Arab Emirates and, somewhat ironically, Greece &#8212; which is why I&#8217;m sure that it&#8217;s only a matter of time before I see an episode of <em>Locked Up Abroad<\/em> featuring the story of a debtor who got stuck in a Greek hoosegow.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the rest of the world has abolished <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Debtors%27_prison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">debtors&#8217; prisons<\/a>. They&#8217;ve since been replaced with bankruptcy, civil litigation, and ruined credit ratings.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, you should always be on the lookout for the following red flags that often signal your finances are in disarray:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. You have revolving balances on your credit cards.<\/strong> Folks who fail to pay off their credit card bills in full each month, by definition, are in violation of one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id573-my-ten-commandments-of-personal-finance-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ten commandments of personal finance<\/a>. That is, they spend more than they earn. As a result they&#8217;re more susceptible to defaulting on their obligations down the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You rely on payday loans to cover your bills each month.<\/strong> This is one of the worst examples of living beyond your means.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. You&#8217;ve been turned down for a consolidation loan. <\/strong>This is a sure sign you are already over-extended and that your debt-to-income ratio is too high.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. You&#8217;re hiding your spending behavior from family members.<\/strong> This red flag indicates that you are aware of your personal finance problems, but are unable to acknowledge it. <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1319-why-marriage-makes-it-so-hard-to-control-remodeling-costs-well-kinda-sorta.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fighting with your spouse<\/a> is a related indicator as financial troubles often lead to domestic trouble.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. You finance your vehicle for more than five years.<\/strong> This is a clear sign that you&#8217;re buying more vehicle than you can reasonably afford.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. You get more than one late notice per year.<\/strong> On occasion, everybody may let a bill fall through the cracks and forget to pay it. But if you find yourself getting multiple late notices for bills, especially for utilities, then that&#8217;s a signal that your finances may be in serious trouble.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. You get more than one bounced check per year. <\/strong>Again, most folks have had an occasional overdraft of their checking account. But if this happens more than once per year, it&#8217;s usually a sign of trouble.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>8. You need a co-signer to get a loan.<\/strong> Those without a credit history can ignore this warning sign. However, for everyone else, the need for a co-signer indicates that banks no longer find you credit worthy.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>9. You find yourself borrowing from your family and friends.<\/strong> I know. <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id15845-dear-friend-here-are-41-reasons-why-im-not-lending-you-the-money-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Borrowing from friends or family<\/a> is a surefire way to sow the seeds of discontent &#8212; especially when you fail to pay the money back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. You lack an emergency savings account of at least three months living expenses.<\/strong> Those who are living from paycheck to paycheck can be completely derailed by even the most modest unexpected expenses, such as the need for major car repairs.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it. If you find yourself participating in two or more of these practices, then you better get your financial house in order. Pronto.<\/p>\n<p>And even quicker than that if you&#8217;re living in Greece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: Victoria Reay<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite television shows is National Geographic Channel&#8217;s Locked Up Abroad.
