Things that you Do Not need!
Things that you only want!
An expensive wedding
A large screen TV

I am not saying we should live like monks.
Aspire and get all that stuff eventually when you can!
If you have it! Then, by all means, spend it!
Enjoy your life!
You can never take it with you to the grave!
.
But guess what!
You will be able to have a hell of a lot more of that stuff far more often if you are not paying 15% more for each treat because it was on credit!
.
I am not saying "never use" credit.
If you need a car to keep your job, then that is an investment.
But if you cannot afford a much-needed car and you do have to get credit,

Do not borrow more than you need to splash out,
on a car that is not really yours and halves its inherent value as soon as it leaves the lot!

A VERY IMPORTANT PS
.
I am not some super and sensible saint!
.
I am not a wise, dime store, guru!
.
.
I nearly destroyed my marriage by mounting up credit card debt!
.
.
Then because I was too stupid to learn my lesson
.
I did it AGAIN!
And the second time it was so much worse!
.
I am smart enough now to have learned my lesson!
.
Smart people learn from their mistakes!
.
.
Do you all want to know what is much smarter than learning from your own mistakes?
.
Learning from OTHER PEOPLE mistakes instead!
.
I invite you to learn from My Mistake!
