Cameron,
Interest... definitely a topic for another post! It is very motivating when you come to understand how much interest you are paying, have paid, and will pay when you are in debt. Interest never takes a break as long as you have debt...
Thanks for your comment!

This is an interesting post and probably typical of many folks. I suppose the truth is if you can’t afford the payment you shouldn’t purchase in the first place. What motivates me even more is looking at the interest rate on a credit card statement.

Maria- That’s a great point you make about keeping your spending in line with your values. I think that goes a very long way in making sound financial decisions. And good for you for never having problems with credit or debt! Maybe we can all learn a thing or two from you as you keep the comments coming!

Mother with Credit Problems: The first and sometimes biggest step toward improving your credit is finding that strong source of motivation that gives you a desire and willingness to fix the problem. It sounds like you are at this point, and ready to move forward. Within the next few days I will be posting an article with specific tips on repairing your credit (things that have worked for me). So keep checking back. Thanks for your comment. Your feedback is valuable!

I’m a silent fan of your blog, but I thought this post required a comment from me. I too have had credit problems, mainly from college and I truly agree with your assessment of people’s characters being reflected by their credit. I had not thought of it that way. For me the motivating factor in getting back on track was my marriage. My husband is a wonderful loving man who has helped me immensely in this area. I was wondering if you had any tips on repairing your credit. My husband and I are really looking to purchase a house but with my credit history… we don’t really want to put the house in my name.

Thanks again for the post.

You make a great point about living congruently, Brooke. Fortunately, I’ve never had a lot of debt or credit issues, but I have had times where I’ve spent my money on things that are not in line with my values.

That’s a point I need to come back to time and time again when I consider making a purchase. I try to take 5 seconds and ask myself, “Is this [insert name of widget here] a product that supports my values or contradicts them?”
