Getting Out of Debt, Stop Your Obsessions!

Most of us are likely to obsess about one thing or another for a period of time, sometimes for days, weeks, or maybe even for years.

When in debt, we may obsess about getting what we can't afford, our past spending behaviors, or what we could've had if we hadn't gone so deep into debt.

We question our values.

Obsessing about what we want or can't have means we value what money can buy—stuff—more than we value money itself.

We're really ignoring money altogether. Instead, we can concentrate on what our money can do.

We value its ability to grow, and we appreciate money more than a new computer.

We begin to see how money can work for us.

Today turn your attention from material goods toward money.
