How could anyone think not being in debt is a bad thing? I'm with you - I hate owing people money, which is one reason I found your channel. I typed in "making do" which is just what I want to do until we are completely out of debt. I didn't think of spending an entire year not buying new things, except very basic necessities (toilet paper being one of them as you said earlier). This year (2010) we are going to get our debt 'way down and away with financial advisers advising otherwise!

I'm living in switzerland now and here they give you a choice of morgages...over 50yrs or over 100yrs! How mad is that? So I have a hundred years to pay off my house. Crazy or what? And the more debt you have, the less tax you pay. I just don't get it. I can't abide debt either. Don't even have a credit card. Here you don't even need them for internet purchases. You buy something, they send it out and then simply trust you to pay it. Mental.

No such thing as GOOD debt, there is only necessary and unecessary debt.
Mortgage debt may be necessary but it is no way good.
People get rich by spending LESS than they earn and investing the excess capital.
Earning more is pointless if it means more debt and less capital.

Why on *Earth* would anyone think that it's not a good idea to *not* owe anyone money? Personally, I'm with you on this.
Also, as for socks....take up knitting? Ha! It's fun.

The problem with the falling off a cliff with your debt thing, is that its fine if you intend to take the wife and the kids over with you. Alas, your debt doesnt die with you ! - You'll just saddle your loved ones with the debt instead. If folks want their "third eye squeegeed" (as Bill Hicks would say) on the subject of Debt, see the google/youtube video entitled "Money as Debt".
BTW, keep up the posts (and the making do) bobbyllew, very interesting.

9 computers????? so there is: you (i'll allow you a laptop too), your wife (ok, a laptop for her too), one for each kid (because i'm generous) and you have... 6. Where on earth do the other 3 go?? does your dog have one too?
I suppose your chickens could have a couple between them...

lovely that you have a reality check mate-i always maintain we are like movies in that we need direction,and editing mentally speaking and only having critical friends can we acheive it.ever seen a directors cut of a movie? self indulgent rubbish generally and thats what occurs to human beings without the same direction!-loving all the updates-great to see someone in the public eye with their head firmly REMOVED from their anus.lots of love

Blow up a baloon, tie the stem in a knot, and look at the knot from below. Look familiar?

Someone said to me today "You can stick it up your balloon knot". Does anyone know what a "balloon knot" is?
