Thanks for all the comments guys. Its exciting that every once in a while this thread pops back up, hopefully one or two people get inspired to reprioritize their life.

Having been debt free for over 2 years now, there is no temptation that could cause me to go back. Congratulations to anyone willing to start this journey. Many will try to change your mind, or rationalize their position, but once you make it out of debt, you wont look back.

 

wow, great story. congrats

 

Really enjoyed reading this thread.

 

Amen!

Words of wisedom. I think the best thing is sometimes to wait it out if you dont got the $. I have done that myself, normally whenever I get "a want". With time you can see if it is a impulse or really something you want to pursue. And then you put the dollars slowly on the side.

Following on from the others and what you mentioned, there was a book I read a while back ago on this topic. "Affluenza: When Too Much is Never Enough" Its a good read.
