Stumbled implies some sort of accident. If I trip on the sidewalk, break my arm, and go into debt with the medical bills, that is a stumble (figuratively, and literally ;). If I blow all my cash and go into debt paying for cool tats to increase my street cred, that isn't a stumble (figuratively, or literally).
