Til Debt Do Us Part

"Til Debt Do Us Part" is a TV show by the author of a book of the same name. What was amazingly frustrating watching this show was the fact that these families were on the edge of divorce but that debt was a given in the lives of these families. It wasn't the debt that was driving them apart but addictions or haphazard life patterns of being unable to hold a solid job or self indulgence to the point of neglecting the other partner.

Yet our marriage vows say "for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse". Debt is part of what makes us poorer. And the stress of paying off debt is perhaps part of the worse; yet paying off debt makes us both better off and richer in the long term. It is the long term vision to see that better life that can lead one to make the shorter term sacrifices to achieve that debt-free life.

Imagine driving the car past its shiny "new" status and paying it off. Then save for another year the value of that car payment. At $500 a month (the average car payment) over a year, that is $6000 saved to buy a quality used car when the current one falls apart.

Imagine cutting back on all the extras, from eating out to shopping for entertainment to having stay-cautions instead of vacations. Cut out that 20% of extra frills and only spend money on groceries, rent or house payments, utilities, minimum debt payments and put that extra 20% of your income against the debt. For many people, that amount (from $300 or $1000 a month) went toward movies, fancy clothes, gym memberships, extracurricular activities for the kids, and Starbucks. Put that amount against your debt, and you could find it paid off in 12-24 months.

If you were debt free, that extra money could build up the emergency fund you always knew you needed but never had the funds to have. Or save for retirement, since you can"t borrow for that. Or save up for that house payment or kids college. Once the debt is gone, many other long term goals become possible. Even investing becomes an option, once you no longer pay 15-30% on credit cards and have several hundred dollars a month payments for a depreciating car in the garage.

Once you pay off the debt, the stress that drives you apart also falls away. Part with your debt and habit of overspending, not your marriage partner.

Christmas is Coming - Beware of the Turkeys!

Once more we are into December, and here in the UK we have had our first frost of the year. As I look out of my office window the fields are white. Maybe we will get some snow this year before Christmas? The kids hope so.

But as Christmas approaches, just a few weeks away, the Turkeys are all out in force!

What do I mean? Well I don't mean the birds. Look up turkey in the dictionary and one definition is shown as:

Slang

a. A person considered inept or undesirable.

b. A failure, especially a failed theatrical production or movie.

And in this instance I mean the failed or inept 'Business Opportunities' that are being hawked around by the usual suspects... again.

Yes, the approach to Christmas is always a time when people look for ways to make a bit of extra money, maybe start a business of their own, and so they start to be bombarded with emails about useless, unprofitable, or totally out of date ideas all dressed up as golden opportunities.

This is the bumper harvest for the scammers and rip-off merchants who will happily sell worthless junk to anyone and everyone. They are guaranteed a comfortable and prosperous Christmas and don't really care if their 'golden opportunities' make absolutely NOTHING for the people who buy them.

So be very careful where you spend your money if you are still looking for a GENUINE way to make money online.

Don't get me wrong here, there are a lot of ways to make real money from the internet - I do it full time. But keep your wits about you and don't fall for the 'get rich quick' merchants who will just take your money and run.

Remember the golden rule: If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true. You can't magic money out of thin air, somebody has to lose it or spend it for someone else to receive it, so don't get taken in by fancy claims on flashy websites. You worked hard to get your money so look after it wisely.

And most of all, have a very happy Christmas and a prosperous new year!
