debt burden
What borrowers carry
A debt burden is the strain that outstanding debts place on a person, company, or government's finances.
The term emphasizes not just the amount owed but the difficulty of managing repayments relative to income or resources.
The country's debt burden has become unsustainable.
When someone is described as having a heavy debt burden, it suggests their obligations are weighing them down financially, limiting their options or threatening their stability.
