What Else Can You Do?
What troubles me most about people struggling to become debt-free are their spending habits. I strongly emphasize taking an honest look at one’s spending: Have you really cut out all non-essential costs? Are you paying more for goods that would be cheaper if you made them yourself? A lot of debt-ridden people would admit they have not pared down spending enough.
I can’t figure this one out. If you carry huge debt and feel stressed daily because of it, why aren’t you doing everything possible to get rid of that stress?
