I've just read all your posts wit...Great post! I've just read all your posts with the "debt free" label on it and I was surprised by the scarcity of comments concerning debt free living! I guess it really is an unpopular (or maybe convicting) idea for most folks. <br /><br />I've thought about commenting on so many of your previous posts about different things, but I am refraining myself. This one rang so true that I felt compelled to comment. <br /><br />I must say a hearty AMEN to your stand on debt free living! We went through a similar ordeal with credit cards and mortgage. We finally paid off our mortgage and have only been debt free for a couple of years now, and it has been so liberating to not have any credit card, mortgage payment, or car payments at all! God has truly blessed us.<br /><br />But, we really need (or should I say want) to build a new home on our property. I would love to do it all debt free, but I don't know if we will be able to. There are several other projects that we need to do that will take money before we can really start the house. Our monetary resources are limited with just one modest income. (My wife stays home and homeschools the children.) We hope to begin the first stages of our house with no debt, but then I will be very much tempted to borrow to get it finished quicker. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for writing these entries. They have been a good reminder to me that I need to proceed with caution and be careful not to get over my head financially. I'm sure they have been a help to others, as well. We are not ready to build yet, so I still have time to continue to save up all I can toward achieving our goals.<br /><br />(Ha, Ha! The word verification for this particular comment to post is the word "entice". That sums up the whole idea of debt!)Ericnoreply@blogger.com
