Sometimes I wish I could say, "the hell with it! I'm opening up another credit card." It's been tempting. I already have so much debt, so what's wrong with a little more? I'll deal with it later. I'd love to go crazy and be able to eat and pay my bills each month.
What keeps me grounded is this: Buying things is like fleeting sexual expeditions. I'm all for the pleasure, but a fling three years ago means nothing to me now. In conclusion of this analogy, the uplifting feeling of spending money is only temporary.
In any case, my generation deals with more than $20,000 worth of college loan debt alone. I feel like I'll have debt the rest of my life.
