Go debt free because it helps. en-us Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT Weblog Editor 2.0 Go Debt Free! Go Debt Free! Go Debt Free! Go Debt Free! Go Debt Free! Go Debt Free! How come we go to sporting events and we cheer for our favorite teams with funny little sayings that are rhythmic? Why don't we do this in our every day life. Like when we go to the bank: "Count that change! Count that change." Or when we go to the grocery store: "Bag that meat! Bag that meat!" We should have cheerleaders located in offices or at home rooting us on to "Go debt free!" Go debt free, Get mon-ey... Now that is a chant that I can get used to. It's true also. If you go debt free, you will have more money. Forget about the fact that your credit rating will improve and you will qualify for lower interest rates on your loans once you go debt free. Forget about the fact that once you go debt free you will have much less stress on your shoulders. Think about it this way: Once you go debt free, you will be able to save all that money you used to pay off your debts. Now that sounds like a good reason for me to go debt free. I bet you never thought of it that way. Eliminating your debts allows you more money to spend the following month. Of course, you could just go debt free and then start saving your money. You will become so used to paying off your debts that you might just take that money each month and put it into a savings account. Instead of losing your money and finance charges, you can make 2.5% on your savings instead. How great is that? To become debt free, you just need a plan. Whether you create a debt free budget or if you look into debt consolidation loans and programs, you will be making a decision to go debt free. Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT
