Motivation gets you a far way, and when I was in debt, I would listen to people brag about themselves being debt free, and I always thought that it would be amazing to not owe anyone anything. We all know that there will always be bills like taxes, etc, but the credit card, mortgage, and others can disappear for good.
Why you should be debt free
- Having peace: You can wake up each, and every morning not worrying about a phone call, or pesky bill arriving in the mail.
- Earn interest: Now, instead of having to pay interest, you can earn it with money market accounts, and more.
- No bills: I already said this, but going to the mailbox may be fun again. You’ll no longer get stupid bills that have to be paid.
- No phone calls: How nice would it be to have your phone not ring throughout the entire day?
- You can afford things: When you’re in debt, it’s hard to afford things. Now, you can buy things that you can afford.
- Feel better: You would think that when you’re debt free, you won’t feel any different, but honestly, you will!
- Lay back on work: If you were working overtime, or side jobs to earn that extra cash, there’s no reason to do that anymore.
- Cut up the credit cards: Credit cards aren’t the root of all evil, but if you don’t need them, why use them?
- Build for retirement: You won’t have a negative net worth anymore, but rather a positive one. This is a great feeling to have.
After reading this, I hoping it’s great motivation for you, and your family to get out of debt. There’s no better feeling than owing anybody nothing at all.
