So, this is the first month that our family has decided to take the necessary steps to become debt free, and let me tell you, it is such a shock. In the long 21 days of this month we have realized how broke we really are with all the debt that we have carried. We found ourselves not being able to just jump in the car and head out to Chili's for dinner, or to the mall to window shop and maybe buy a shirt. We cant just jump in the car and go for endless rides, because we cant spend gas money. We have always had a budget, but having a strict budget has been a life changing experience.
The last couple weeks I have been consuming my time with reading books,(on finance and money), and doing major research on the topic of debt free. This week our family has started to implement,daily family activities. Since we have a four year old, our first night was game night. We played a game of Chutes and Ladders. It was a great way to take our minds off our debt, and also off the boredom that we encountered.
I heard a saying that said," Maturity is knowing how to delay pleasure for a greater result in the future".
And I think that if we continue to find ways to entertain our lives, and focus on getting out of debt, we will be happy healthy and wealthy.
