“Leading A Debt Free Life & Marriage”

Part 1

Has Debt Become Your Remedy To Your Problems?

A lot of people spend more than they earn, but don’t realize it! It might be shocking to note that nearly half of Nigerian spends up to 30% more than they earn; especially married couples.

How can we not realize that we’re overspending month after month?

But this has become the “way of life” for so many of us that debt almost seems normal. It has been part of our everyday lives for so long that it’s hard to imagine our lives without it.

It is obvious that if one is to ask, “Who would like to be out of debt” millions of Nigerians, including you and I would shout “me!”

It is true that a whole lot of us want to be free from debts yet we find that many of us keep adding to these debts mounting daily. The reasons for these are quite numerous.

But there are two major reasons, which include the desire to impress other people and the strange addiction to overspending just to “belong” or to cope with life. 

In a way, to pile up debt seem to become our remedy, a solution or therapy. According to a marriage counselor, “many couples use overspending as a way of offsetting their difficult and stressful life style. We are prepared to use credit and pay interest on stuff we really don’t need just to get a false satisfaction”.

If this is your case, there is a solution. Although it is not an easy thing to achieve, with determination and persistence, you can say bye-bye to debts.
