All We Need Is Just A Little Patience
Filed Under Debt |
I love technology that makes life easier. I have a PDA, a laptop, an iPod, and more email accounts than I care to tell you about. I wonder what I did before these things even existed.
While technology is great, it has made this an extremely impatient society that we live in. If we want to talk to someone, we call their cell phone and expect them to answer. Or we email them and expect a response within a few minutes. If they don’t answer their phone or email us back almost immediately, we call/email again. “Where are you?”. If still no answer, we text them. If we want something or need someone, it must happen now!
Unfortunately, this is not the way money works. Money does not, in fact, grow on trees. I know because I’ve gone outside to look several times.
By the time my husband and I get out of debt, it will have been two years since we started. That can seem like a long time to some people – too long for most. But it must be looked at a different way. Two years of spending cutbacks is absolutely nothing compared to spending the rest of my life with plenty of wealth, no money worries, the ability to take my family on vacations whenever I want, and the ability to give away money like I’ve never been able to before.
A lifetime vs. two years. I’ve chosen lifetime.
