"If your goal is freedom, you need to buy that freedom." nailed it!
I couldn't agree more with you. The timing couldn't be better because I just finished a spreadsheet for a new family budget. Once I got past the scary big numbers, I realised that in a couple years we could be completely debt free. The next thing that crossed my mind was what we could then be able to do: save, travel more, be more selective in jobs, etc. When you have cash, you have freedom.
- jacquesm 13y agoThe problem with that approach is that for most people their lifestyle is adjusted upwards as they get closer to being debt free or having some money. In the end this is a discipline problem, if you commit to some budget now and stick to the plan for the next couple of years you'll be fine, beware of the temptation to change your lifestyle when you reach your goal because it will put you back where you started pretty quickly.
