I've been reading that more and more of us (specifically in the U.S.) are. This morning I came across a recent poll that shows 32% of us are behind in paying at least one, if not more, bills.
Please note this is not a poll just for those in the U.S., I'd love to answers from everywhere.
I'm including a simple poll in this post. Please do vote "Yes" or "No". Comment if you wish.
EDIT: Smart a$$ remarks are not needed. If you don't want to respond, don't. I'm sorry if your life sucks, but no need to take it out on others.

Yeah im behind on quite a bit. I'm mainly behind on utilities, credit card and medical bills
@SW-User It's hard to get current once you get behind. It can be done, but it isn't easy.

@Ontheroad true it didnt get bad until i.got sick a few years ago and the medical bills came in. Then i was unemployed for a little bit which racked up the credit card debt. Now i don't make much and have to somehow climb out of the hole on $13 an hour while i search for a second job
@SW-User Yeah, I wondered if the medical bills part isn't what got you behind. That happens to so many and I feel like it's a crime that people get in that situation. We need universal care or at the least, income based medical care.

@Ontheroad it's worse when you dont have insurance like me. Makes it harder to pay down. Plus when i was sick i missed a lot of work hence no income comijg in
