The American Way
Do not be brain washed the American way of owning a credit card (use credit card only for business expense), when you do not need one. The perception of buying during a sale, tempts you to spend when you do not need to buy the discounted product or service.
In order to save is to spend. Americans dug themselves too deep into debt. Working two jobs, spending less time for their family. Working night shift can cause cancer for women especially. It wrecks havoc on our hormones.
There is a way out, start early at 30 yrs old, saving tax free and cutting on spending.
How many of you would think that life is good if you are completely out of debt? Add a $100 more in your credit card payment to reduce the years to pay, you get debt free early with less interest payments. Attack the lowest amount credit card first.
Start with mental adjustments, plan your finances now before it is too late. Pay cash, use debit cards, stop shopping, don’t use credit cards, think of saving tax free and have a business for yourself to get the biggest tax break.
