YOU MUST LIVE THE EXAMPLE
This goes back to one of my first post. Parents are the key to the foundation for their kids. The saying that "more is caught than taught" applies. Kids are always watching and listening even when you think they aren't.
We must set the example for them to follow. Parents always say they want their kids to have, enjoy, and live better than they did or do. If you are struggling each month living paycheck to paycheck. Reflect as to what put you here. Are you trying to impress others? You never had money and think that spending it makes it a reality? Maybe it's time for change, in order to set an example to help them have better and be better could be living debt free. You would then be living the example and proving it can be done as well as showing them the benefit of living that way.
I lived most my life with debt and had the FALSE honor of having a high credit score for my FALSE validation of doing well. It was not until after walking a new path to become debt free. Then an awesome thing happened, I had MONEY. I had learned to budget, where I now told my money where to go, instead of wondering where it went. Now instead of making payment and paying finance charges. I could invest and pay cash for things I needed and even had money for "wants" if they were placed in the budget.
Let's all change the mindset or normality of living in debt. I can think of no better example to set for kids and build a strong foundation for their future success than living debt free.
I know this was a long post. If you made it this far maybe it hit a nerve for you? What are you going to do about it? If you are ready for change, there is no better time than the present. YOU have what it takes and will succeed. I believe in you and will walk beside you and maybe even push you to attain your success.
I wish you all a great day.
