4 Reasons Why Being Debt-Free is Not Socially Acceptable

Did you know living debt-free is considered being weird? Or even not socially acceptable! When I heard that the first time I did not how to respond. And the reason for that was I too had been taught that debt is a tool that would allow me to win in life. Well. I now know today that was a line of BS, and me spending 50% of my hard-earned paycheck on a monthly basis was C-R-A-Z-Y!

When you hear about people being debt-free and not living paycheck to paycheck, you are probably thinking....That they are totally weird. The debt-free lifestyle can be for you...If you want to put the hard work in!

Check out these 4 reasons.

1. Budgets Aren't for Everyone

The reason why most people do not use a budget....Drumroll....It is too time-consuming! And that is where debt wins every single time. So, people that want to live a debt-free life will take the time and create a budget each month, and they will make sure they cut out all unnecessary spending. And by doing this they can map out what they need each month to support their 4-walls (Mortgage/Rent, Groceries, health insurance, Automobile expenses).

2. Self-Control

How is your willpower when it comes to walking past a huge TV or shoe sale? Is that impulse buy calling your name? Well....If you are just buying things to keep up with the Joneses. Guess what...They are broke! Cause those impulse purchases are being charged on...credit cards. If you want to be debt-free you know these purchases are not going to erase your problems nor make you feel better. Instead, be weird and save up the money?.. PAY CASH!

3. Sacrifice Sacrifice Sacrifice

Going out to dinner three times a week, going to the movies, having the top-tier cable package. These are things people cut out of their budget when they are wanting to become debt-free. Just remember: Budget reductions are temporary, and once you are debt-free you will have more room for extras in life.

4. No is Your Best Friend

Are you always saying YES to every social opportunity? Vacations, shopping trips, eating out with co-workers, or just spending money. By you saying NO you will be that much closer to that debt-free life you have been wanting. Make No your best friend!
