Today’s post is a wake-up call to all of you who have not begun the great fight and it is a fight. The day you make the commitment and begin to pay off your debt will turn into the happiest day of your life.
I hear from quite a few folks who can’t get started or are afraid of change or worried what will happen if they don’t continue down the road to financial ruin.
It may seem scary to make a change but if you don’t make a change you’ll find yourself not only in bankruptcy. You’ll also find your friends and family avoiding you like the plague.
I’ve outlined a few strategies on these posts to get you started (and also many more in my kit, From Debt to Cash). You and only you can institute the change. I’ve even spoken about how mad you need to get about your present situation.
The madder you get the more likely you are to make a change in your life. If you’re not mad, if you’re not disturbed by your predicament it’s kind of like having a heart attack. If you have a heart attack and survived the Doctor would give you a set of instructions on what to eat, how, and when.
If you’ll take the Doctor’s advice you’ll live a nice healthy life, if you don’t you’ll severally shorten your life.
That’s what debt does to us. Debt gives us a short term sense of a great feeling but when we can’t borrow any more debt turns ugly. It’s like have withdrawals from drugs.
And the reason debt is like a drug is because it makes you feel so good. It’s really cool to borrow money and purchase things you cannot afford to purchase. Until you have to pay the bill at the end of the month.
When you cannot pay the bill your friendly creditor won’t be so friendly anymore. Your friendly creditor will start hassling you and hounding you for money. You see, the Big Bankers want all of your money. When the bankers can’t get your money they get a little upset.
That’s why I recommend you take the plunge today. Start today and get out of debt today. Before you know it you’ll be able to do what most people can’t do because you’ve done what most people won’t do.
Live like the 20% crowd you’ll live longer, healthier, and happier. Take the plunge and feel happier ever after…
