Can we really get rid of debt?
Yes. When we read authors such as Dave Ramsey we can nod our heads to his ideas. Who would not like to have an emergency fund of $1,000.00. Who would not like to pay off ALL our debts (except for the mortgage). This means paying off ALL our credit cards, ALL loans and everybody we owe.
What are the benefits of living debt free?
According to Ramsey, the ordinary person could get ahead of recurring expenses (3-6 months). This is your safety net. It will take care of the unexpected bills with a lot less stress. Without the burden odfa heavy debt load, can enjoy the freedom of building wealth that includes a retirement fund. We can help our children by putting aside a college fund. We can finally pay off the house and declare ourselves debt free. There is power in knowing that we can save. We can lend to others. We do not have to borrow and that we can really live debt free.
Ramsey's steps are easy to understand, but may be difficult to follow. They involve changing the way we think about wealth and debt. The steps, when followed, will help us to discipline our minds to become wealth builders and not debt creators
