[...] What Can Be Done – I think there are several things that can be done to make sure you dont end up owing a debtor your first born child, the first of which is to try to stay out of credit card debt. You dont need a plasma tv, you dont need a 2 week vacation in Australia, you dont need a new Ipod…those are all wants. If you cannot afford to buy them with the cash you have in the bank, then you cannot afford them. Period. Concentrate spending your money on the things you need like food, heat, shelter, clothes, gasoline. Your money will go alot further when you use it for the needs in life, rather than the wants. Live somewhere you can afford, whether that is an apartment or house in whatever city you choose to live in. There is nothing wrong with living in an apartment…if nothing else, think of the money you save on insurance and repairs. If you can actually afford a house, good for you! As for cars, again, buy what you can afford. If you are having trouble paying the bills at home, you might want to consider the Honda and put down the BMW brochure. Also, another thing to keep in mind is your car’s MPG…the more miles per gallon your car gets, the less money you have to spend to keep it running! I see more people here in LA with Hummers, living in really bad areas of town, run-down houses, etc…but yet they need their $40,000 gas-guzzling SUV. And lastly, save your money. I wrote a post a while back about paying off our debt and saving money at the same time….give it a read if you are interested in doing the same thing, it worked for us, and it could work for you.
