My money habits 7/15

Don’t take unnecessary debt

Sometimes it’s very easy to borrow money — a credit card, a payment plan, “I’ll deal with it later.”

But unnecessary debt usually takes away your peace of mind.

You keep paying for something that doesn’t even make you happy anymore.

If you can wait — wait.

If you can’t afford it now, maybe you don’t really need it.

Life feels much better when you’re not stressed about debt.
