A TIME OF RE-THINKING
We all like the status quo, we all get complacent; we all like to just settle back into the same old solutions without having to make any serious changes. The world, in which we live, has programmed us with its set of solutions for getting through life, and we often accept the common fare without analyzing it ourselves, and thinking it through.
We accept the world’s criteria for establishing our worth in our society, and strive to achieve the goals it sets for us, in hopes that we will be considered successful. Our society has programmed us to get a job and immediately head out and charge a new car or two, sign up for a 30 year mortgage, and furnish the house with the credit card. All this on top of a student loan that amounts to more than our grandparents saved in a lifetime of hard work.
I love baseball, and played a lot of baseball when I was younger. Many times I have watched my team in the playoffs or World Series, and they just stopped playing heads up ball – they started to ignore the basics. They forgot the fundamentals that got them to the winners circle. Today it’s time to re-think our basic financial strategy and get back to the basics.
Let’s start working our way through college and not charging it. When we graduate let’s buy a car that is 5 years old with 40k miles on it and not that brand new car. And let’s buy a house that we can easily afford, and avoid renting. Now, let’s not contribute to our 401k at work until our house is paid for. The very best investment anyone could have made in the last 10 years, actually the last 100 years, would have been to have paid off their home. Not only would you have not been foreclosed, but you would sleep easy and enjoyed peace of mind.
