How satisfied are you with your current financial situation? Would you like to change it? What are you prepared to do to make that change happen? Success will come at a cost and there will be no no victory without sacrifice. What are you prepared to sacrifice in these areas?
Time
- Are you willing to spend at least 1 hour preparing a monthly budget?
- Are you willing to take time to track your expenses?
- Are you willing to work extra hours or take a 2nd job to increase your income?
Entertainment
- Could you go without a vacation for 1-2 years until your debt was paid-off?
- Would you forgo eating out or going to the movies for a while so you can cut your monthly expenses?
Comfort
- Could you break-up with credit cards for good and learn to save to pay for what you want to buy?
- Would you drive a paid-for older car instead of a nicer one that comes with a monthly payment?
- Would you be willing to rent cheaply until you could get out of debt and until you could save for a good down payment for a home?
Count the cost of doing nothing. Don’t forsake a better tomorrow because you were unwilling to pay the price of sacrifice today.
