This year, four prime ministers in Europe have quit their jobs or been forced out of office.

That's because their countries have spent more money than they make and now they can't pay their debts.

Some of the countries are making deals with other countries in Europe and the International Monetary Fund for a "bailout."

A bailout is a loan to a country to keep it from going bankrupt.

The richer countries agree to put in more money to save the poorer countries.
