While doing my blog reading I came across a post that asked “Why do I want to be rich?” I think I can honestly say I don’t think I necessarily want to be rich. What do I want? I want to be out of credit card and line of credit debt. I want to go on a business trip and not have to worry about whether I will be able to afford the hotel that I will be staying at. I don’t want to have to negotiate with the front desk to pay one day at a time on my room. It was terribly distracting and I didn’t get as much out of the conference. I want to have enough cash on hand that I don’t have to time to the day when I can pay a bill and not have overdraft. I would like to not have to lay awake wondering if I can afford something happening to the car and getting it fixed. I want buy the plants I want and have the garden I want. I want to own a home…..I don’t mind a mortgage. Utlimately though I want to get married and have children and to be able to stay at home with them. I want to walk into that marriage with little debt of my own. I want to get married soon and have the wedding of my dreams.
I know to do all that I have to change myself. I need to recognize when spending money really makes sense. When to buy cheap and when to buy quality. I need to know that people that love me will still love me even if I don’t buy them a lot of gifts. I need to recognize when it is really just a burning desire to spend money and how to side step it. I need to always like who I am and be comfortable in it.
