A Message From A Debt-Free Friend
Filed Under Debt |
Please read this message from a friend of mine.
This is a nasty time for my wife and I - 5+ weeks in a nationally known hospital for cancer treatment. My wife is staying in a local hotel with most of her time being unpaid. We have great insurance and disability coverage BUT what would this be like if we had a big ol’ house payment, payments on a car or two and who knows how much due on multiple credit cards??
We are older than most of you but we became debt free 8 years ago. On Thanksgiving, I just had a backache. On January 9th I was diagnosed with acute leukemia.
Everyone can do it but unfortunately few will.
He asked that this be passed on to you in hopes that you will see how important it is to get rid of your debts and get your finances in order. What if your life was suddenly interrupted like his was and you no longer had your income or your spouse’s, or both? Are you in a situation where you would be able to handle it financially? Luckily, my friend is. He has no debts so he and his wife are able to put all of their energy on the cancer fight ahead of them. There will be no worries about house payments. There will be no worries about car payments. Credit card companies will not start calling them begging for money. Their focus is where it should be – on the cancer.
