@Wealth Aritsan-Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Yea, you can’t get wealthy with credit card debt, it won’t happen. And without a budget, it’s really hard to know what you are spending and if you’re on track to meet your goals.
@Laurine-Thank you. Please stop back!

Darren, Very well put! It puts a different spin on your spending when you think about how much you have to work for each dollar! Once you get through the 10 steps and start investing, your money will grow without your efforts! Keep coming back! Best, Barb

I’ve been thinking more about your step #4 and the spending plan. In particular, I’m starting to think more about the pleasure I get from spending.

If I make $20 an hour, and a spend $200 on a fancy night out (dinner, entertainment, etc.), then that night cost me 10 hours of my life. I better make sure that the night out was worth investing 10 hours of my life. If i think about it this way, and find that it’s NOT worth it, then I should rethink my spending more consciously.

Hello Barbara,

This is a great list of steps. It was added as a related article because it highlights the importance of paying off debt. I also like how much you stress the importance of budgets! You have a great blog here and I look forward to your future posts.

Thanks Again,
