Debt

livin' it up in the pits

Debt. Ugh. It's gross even typing that word. Debt. Ugh. The other day a buddy of mine said something that shocked me. She said, "I'll be in debt for the rest of my life." When I think about the posibility that my life might be that way, I feel ike someone has cuffed me to a 9-5 job in the suburbs. I see her perspective, though. If I dug a hole so deep I could no longer see light, wouldn't I just make myself comfortable at the bottom rather than slave everyday to reach an end I couldn't even see? I think the US has adopted my friend's philosophy, too. The deficit is astronomical, so let's just keep spending and make ourselves comfortable at the bottom of the pit. Comfy?

Why is it big dreams always seem to require big money?

Well, most americans spend thier life in debt, its become part of the american experience. I thankfully at 38 years old owe no one. No morgage, no car payments, no credit cards. Everything I have is paid for and I have no wish to go into debt to anyone for anything. I was lucky though, someone had to die for me to be able to do it although it was a long time ago and I never knew them. I still thank them almost everyday though for giving me the opportunity to live free of debt.
