Choosing Debt Free LivingIs Debt Free Living Right For You?The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice. - George Eliot (Novelist)
I can just envision myself, pushing my wheel barrel full of pennies to the bank, or trying out for the part of Scrooge in the Christmas play. O.K., not a pretty picture. I guess compulsive saving can be just as bad as compulsive spending. A happy medium is sure to be found in debt free living.Living debt free doesn't mean that you have to save, save, save all the time. It doesn't mean you're a tightwad or a skinflint, or any of those other scrooge like descriptions that come to mind. Actually, debt free living isn't even about being completely debt free, although that would be great. Debt is usually necessary at some point in life. At least for most average wage earners. It would be nearly impossible to save the cost of a family home and not have to enter into a mortgage agreement. Not that it hasn't been done by a few savvy savers, but on average, most individuals won't be paying cash for their home or even a new car these days. Debt free living is so much more than just staying out of debt. It's more like responsibly living with debt. But, of course, as little unsecured debt as possible. Financial responsibility is the foundation of debt free living. Is debt free living right for you? Ask yourself these questions...
