What right time to get debt - free than the unexampled year ?
These folk are mortgage - free and living well in a tiny firm :
I like this couple ’s anteriority .
I ’ve been debt free and mortgage free for three years now . They are n’t kidding when they talk about the exemption that come from drop out of the rat airstream . This blog believably would n’t survive if it was n’t for the decade my wife and I spend budgeting , saving , investing and disbursement - cutting .
It ’s an awing impression to not owe anything . If it take building a lilliputian sign of the zodiac to do that , it ’s a not bad trade .
I could ’ve been debt - loose a bunch sooner if I had n’t gotten caught in the heady hullabaloo of the real land boom . Fortunately I got out before it went bust .
If you are in debt and struggling , I really feel for you . These are tough prison term and it ’s surd to make money . I know from personal experience . I ’ve had years where I go down well below the “ poverty floor . ”

My advice , for what it ’s deserving :
1 . relinquish purchasing hooey .
2 . Ditch everything that has payments attached .
3 . Save every cent and live like you ’re utterly broke .
4 . Grow your own food .
5 . Save by overgorge extra Johnny Cash into something hard to spend , like silver grey .
6 . do work more and save the supernumerary .
7 . betray hooey you do n’t need , want , or just because it ’s expensive . John Cash is better than stuff .
8 . block the Joneses . LikeDave Ramseysays – the Joneses are BROKE !
9 . Do n’t countenance people pile obligations on you . If you ca n’t give a slip somewhere , secern everyone you ’re sorry and ca n’t make it .
10 . Always keep an emergency fund with at least $ 1000 in it .
11 . Ditch your credit cards . Cut them up . Now .
12 . Quit eating out .
13 . Quit pay for Direct TV / Cable / Netflix / etc .
14 . Learn to enjoy “ pee do . ” I late madea fresh power hammer handleand save $ 6.00 . It ’s pretty amazing to reclaim stuff that would otherwise hit the applesauce .
15 . Always call back why you ’re doing this . exemption !
Can you conceive of not having to yield a payment ever again ?
I can drop money on trees and plants that would normally have gone to some fat cat banker . And I can afford decent cigar and tree fort . We ’re still nowhere nigh affluent , but at least we ’re not tie to monthly requital .
The decennium of pain was deserving it . you’re able to be debt free faster than I did with some provision . Especially if you ditch your house or apartment and get a tiny home ( though I would n’t pay what they did for it ) .
