Household budgets and debt in Limon
In Limon, the typical owner with a mortgage spends 21.1% of household income on housing and the typical renter spends 23.2%. Above 30% is generally considered cost-burdened, which leaves less room for other debts.

If debts are getting hard to manage, the usual options, from mildest to most serious, are: a budget and a call to your lenders to ask for a hardship plan; a debt management plan through a nonprofit credit counselor, which can lower interest rates; a debt consolidation loan or, for homeowners, a cash-out refinance or home equity loan; debt settlement, where a company negotiates to pay less than you owe; and bankruptcy.
Under the Federal Trade Commission's rules, debt settlement companies can't charge a fee until they have settled at least one of your debts. Settling can hurt your credit and forgiven debt may be taxable, so compare it with credit counseling first. Time limits for collectors to sue differ by state and by type of debt; check with your state attorney general or a lawyer before relying on one.
Homeowners can sometimes pay off high-interest debt with their home's equity. With the median Limon home worth $219,300 and 55% of owners mortgage-free, many owners have equity to draw on, but it turns unsecured debt into debt secured by your home.
