   It does not disappear.  You spent it.  If you forgot how, get some   
   medical help.  If the bank is in error, brink it to their attention.

   No one forced you to marry her.   
   No one forced you into debt.   
   Yet I bet you argued over money.

   Debt by definition IS promissory slavery.  You get money now but promise   
   over time to return the money.  Entirely voluntary.   
      
   Don't over subscribe and incur frivolousness debt and no problem will   
   become of it.

   So?  Become a bankrupt delinquent loser. No one said the price didn't   
   have to be PAID.
