Do you have any debt? Studies show that many Americans have ten to twenty thousand dollars in consumer debt. Consumer debt comes from purchases that are consumption based versus investment based. A mortgage is considered an investment debt while credit cards, auto payments or a Snap On accounts are viewed as consumer debts. Consumer debt can weigh heavily on you and your family if not kept in check. Consider cutting your credit cards in half, stay out of shopping malls, and create a budget (and stay on it). Also the next time you feel led to make a purchase, ask yourself “Do I really need this?” Then delay the purchase for 30 days and ask yourself again. Chances are you’ll discover the answer is “No.” Call us if you need help managing your debt. Comment here.
