As Charles C. Noble quotes "First we make our habits, then our habits make us," we can get into a habit of living on debt, maybe starting in our youth as college debt and carrying on into our elder years as we become accustomed to the lifestyle it affords.
The way debt is used at various stages in one's lifespan is discussed in this piece "Life-stages of Debt" from Bankrate.com's website. Insight into how the habit is acquired may give you the ammunition you need to break the habit.
Do you agree?
Hi, I hope to encourage readers, young & old alike, to take a more active role in your personal finances, to learn about your money and how to keep more of it. The goal is not to tell you what to do with your money, but to help inform you about money so that you can make responsible money decisions of your own, and the best possible money choices of your own. Welcome! Glad you could make it. Come on in, get cozy and let’s talk!
