i read a statistic somewhere about credit card debt being a fairly prevalent thing in the u.s.
this makes me think about all the encounters i have with people like if i tell someone i'm broke i tend to think its funny- but usually people don't really understand that i think its humorous when i say i am broke i usually just mean i don't have any extra, i don't usually mean i am in the red, or going hungry or something drastic like that for the most part, i am fine with not having extra, in a lot of respects i view that sacrifice (not having a lot) as a necessary thing 1. to develop appreciation 2. its a good habit to have some self control 3. it helps make it much sweeter when you actually DO get extra money, etc etc when i got this place i live in now, i slept on the floor for two months.. then i got a mattress and i slept on that (with no frame) for like 11 months... i didn't have a couch for over a year, etc however i never went and used a credit card to get these things, i never got impatient about it.. i mean yeah i wanted these things but for the most part i was chill enough to kinda laugh at myself and relax about it when i hear a negative statistic about credit card debt in the u.s. i wonder if other people feel the way i feel about things.. are they willing to 'not have' for a while? are they able to laugh at themselves and say "look, i don't even have furniture lol" or are they straight up just reaching for that credit card? i am not trying to toot my own horn and say i've got it together because i have a ton of room for improvement in life however i just feel like this is one area where a lot of peeps should try to relax not having things is ok... just try to keep living and hoping and striving.. u don't have to run up your credit card or whatever, you can put things off and try to be patient until you have that tangible money its ok to laugh at yourself if you don't have working heat in your ride... its ok to laugh at yourself because all you have is paper plates.. its ok to laugh at yourself because you slept on the floor and woke up with a neck cramp u don't have to just whip out that credit card or keep up with the jones's.. if you don't have a lot, sometimes that's an ok thing what do u peeps think.. what is ur perspective on money?
