Debt-Proof Living

April 19th, 2006

I really liked how Mary Hunt, author of a book by the same title, defined “debt-proof living”. This concept touches on so many virtues:

Debt-proof living is a lifestyle where you spend less than you earn; you give, save, and invest confidently and consistently; your financial decisions are purposeful; you turn away from compulsive behavior; you shun unsecured debt; you borrow cautiously; you anticipate the unexpected; you scrutinize your purchases; and you reach for your goals by following a specific plan.

Debt-proof living is about generosity, gratitude, and obedience. It is about sound choices and effective decisions. To debt-proof your life means to know exactly what to do with your money and have the freedom to earn and spend it when and how you choose. Debt-proof living is a way of life — a financially disciplined lifestyle that produces peace and joy.
