Be in debt

Sure, I’d be happy to help! So, the crossword clue “Be in debt” can be answered with the word “OWE“. Let me explain what that means.

Imagine you lend some money to a friend, and they tell you they will give it back next month. They still have not paid you after the due date, and now it’s been a few months. They owe you money. That’s basically what “owe” means. It’s a verb that represents a situation where someone has a financial obligation to pay off a debt, usually to another person or business.

So if you borrow money from a bank or a friend, you owe that money back to them over time, with interest. Or if you go to the store and buy something on credit, you owe the store the amount you borrowed.

In summary, “owe” means to be in debt or have an obligation to pay back a sum of money. It’s an important financial term that everyone should understand, especially if they want to avoid getting into debt themselves.
