I have a confession to make…
I have more debt than I’ve let on.
You see, this is how it happens because debt is so insidious.
It started with a For King and Country concert. My sister and mom wanted to go and so did I. My mom put the tickets to the concert on her credit and I said the infamous words…

Yikes!
So much for being debt free!
I mean that’s not a ton of debt but it’s nothing to sneeze at.
Those “I’ll pay you backs” really add up. They are so sneaky the way they just accumulate like that.
And I hate I mean loathe any form of debt so I’ve got to come up with a plan to pay her back (I think I owe my sister too! Boo hoo!)
And here I am thinking I’m debt-free. But I’m not and any debt is a dark thunderous cloud over my head stalking me at every turn.

We are called to be good stewards of the money God has entrusted to us.
For so long, I wasn’t a good steward of His money.
I did some silly things with money that got me in major debt and I now regret but these silly things were also good learning experiences.
I’ve learned that sometimes knowing what you shouldn’t do isn’t a strong enough catalyst to get us to change.
Sometimes, we don’t even realize which financial habits keep is enslaved.
Looking at debt from this angle might help open our eyes.
If we want to reach financial freedom, we have to talk about debt and specifically credit card debt (and some tips to get out of it) which is one of the forms of debt that is strangling American’s the most.
Debt was such a dark cloud over my life.
The burden of debt being lifted off of my shoulders is a feeling I can’t truly describe except to say it felt like freedom.
I imagine it’s the same feeling you get when you retire. It’s an incredible experience.
But getting out of debt isn’t easy or fun because if it was everybody would be doing it.
So how do you get there?Continue reading
