Do you want to be debt free? Of course you do. Otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this. You want to be debt free….your friends, your neighbor, your pastor, your parents and millions of other Americans want to be debt free.
But why? I’m not asking why other people want it, or why you should want it? Why do you want it?
What is your motivation for paying off your debt? You need to know, because it will take hard work, sacrifice and intense teeth-clenching determination to climb this hill. We’re talking about Rocky Balboa training to fight the big Russian…the Little Engine That Could climbing the steep hill…this is an uphill battle!! Broke people all around will make fun of you. Your family will think you’ve lost your mind. Your friends may think you’ve joined a cult. Becoming debt free is not easy! And if you don’t know why you want this, you’ll never be able to achieve it.
So close your eyes for a moment and think about what your motivation is. What will you be able to do in life if you pay off your debt? How will life be different? How will life be better?
For some people, their motivation is their children. You want to pay for your kids’ college or wedding. You want to leave your children an inheritance when you pass from this life. You want to help your children buy their first home.
Others are motivated by the desire to pursue their life’s passion and their true calling. Too many people are stuck in jobs they hate because they have to make huge monthly payments on their debt. Maybe your dream is to open a business. Maybe you have been called to ministry, to be a missionary or to work for a charity organization.
Some people are motivated by the desire to adopt children… to travel…to retire comfortably…to care for aging parents…to be a stay-at-home mom/dad.
Everyone’s motivation is different. But YOU have to know why YOU want to be debt free!
Will it be easy? – NO!
Is it hard work? - YES!
Will you have to make sacrifices? – YES!
Is it worth it? It was for us. But you have to decide for yourself.
For you…for your family…for your goals…for your dreams…for your future…is it worth it?
If it is…what are you waiting for?
Yours In Freedom,
Clint
