DEBT

We were not meant to be in debt.  Our society has made debt acceptable and easy to get into.  We are taught that in order to be successful, we need to “have” the latest and greatest.  It is time to let go of the “stuff”.  As my grandmother always said, “you can’t take it with you”.   The little bit of joy we have when we first purchase something, later turns to dread when we spend months or years paying for it.  We are trading our future for the things we “have to have” now.  Who really cares what others think?  When you are debt free, you have choices.  Choices to stay at a job or search for something you enjoy doing, even if it doesn’t pay as much.  You have the ability to help others and donate to causes you feel strongly about.

If you owe money for anything, think about the choices you would have if you were debt free.  Think about how your life would be different and how free you would be.
