top 5200 Top 5 reasons why people go get into debtExcessive spending - With easy availability of credit over the past decade, the spending habits of Americans have skyrocketed. The old days of paying for something with cash are long gone and we now live in a society that borrows money to buy goods and services.

Medical Bills - My father always said that if you have your health then you have everything and that statement is more true today than ever. As unexpected medical expenses arise, people tend to shift their priorities from spending money on household necessities to health care. Late payments begin to accumulate and before you know it you’re receiving collection calls.

Your growing family - As you build your family, expenses don’t always correspond with your salary. As take home pay for Americans is stretched to accommodate more family members, many are forced to borrow to keep afloat.

Unemployment - We are in the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression and unemployment is wreaking havoc on families. The lack of gainful employment is having a direct impact on people’s ability to pay their bills, forcing many families to go further into debt.

The unexpected - No one can ever plan for every contingency in life. While it is advisable to have at least 6 – 12 months of your current expenses in a liquid savings account, in today’s economy you might need an additional 6 or 9 months. It is not surprising that many Americans finance their unexpected or emergency expenses by borrowing.

    My ultimate goal in life is to have Financial Freedom where i also have lots of extra time for leisure. Financial freedom does not come easily without lots of hard work and positive thinking.
