Hear ye, hear ye, Money Saving Lords and Ladies! It’s Freedom Friday where I bi-weekly share our progress in becoming completely debt free. It’s also your turn to share your story of debt slaying. Whether you’ve paid off every cent you owe, are just getting started, or live somewhere in the in between, we want to hear from you! We’re better together, share your story and make us all stronger.
My day began by watching this video (thanks to Lady Adrienne) on Facebook. Watch it, it’s only a minute and it’s definitely worth it.
After watching that (and then spending about 30 minutes watching other Nike ads that made me want to run around the house, try the high jump for the first time, box with Ali (Laila or Muhammad), and perhaps ride my bike or run across the country like a female Lance Armstrong/Forrest Gump), I began to think about how applicable this ad was to getting out of debt. I had plenty of excuses when we began our debt slaying journey.
- We just don’t make enough money.
- We have things we need.
- I want to provide a certain lifestyle for our kid(s)/family.
- I don’t think the King of Free really knows how much our bills amount to every month.
- We’re barely making it as it is.
- What’s really the big deal with getting out of debt anyway?
- The idea of this makes me uncomfortable and I don’t like it.
- We will have NO fun ever. again.
- It’s just too much. We can’t do it.
