Larry Burkett remains my favorite human financial adviser. It was a sad day when he departed to be with the Lord, but I know it was a day of rejoicing for him personally. Dave Ramsey has had some good things to say through the years as well. The best place, however, to get financial advice is the Bible. The servant is a slave to the lender...what else needs to be said? When is it worth it to go in to bondage: house, car, clothes, education? We all decide, but each decision has ramifications on other areas of our lives--sometimes far reaching ramifications. Either we are in a lifestyle of saving and getting out of debt (or staying out if we already are), or we're not. There really is not much middle ground; at least I've not seen much. For spenders there is always a 'good reason' why they 'had' to go in to debt...again...so the cycle has continued. In this culture it takes hard choices to be debt-free. Same as cash is not being debt free, for the record. It is a game that has caught many people and it feeds the 'I want it now even though I really can't afford it now' attitude. The more we feed attitudes that align with one lifestyle, the more apt we are to continue in that lifestyle.
