   If people realized how liberating and freeing it is to be sans debt it would be more people’s day to get out of debt. Too bad everyone thinks it hard and a drag.

   I decided about 3 years ago that debt wasn’t for me. So far I’m trying to get through college without debt at all. It’s hard, but its worth it and it’s working.

   Living debt free is the only way to be. Don’t spend what you don’t have. Only use credit cards if you plan to pay them off in full each month. Good post.

    Sometimes “the day” comes when you come across something that tells you things need to change. For me, it happened when I saw how my finances compared to those of other people like me. It happened when I visited this site…ingcompareme.com.
