Greed will ruin your credit.

There is nothing wrong with ambition, but there is something wrong with wanting what your neighbor has. I did not want to bring religion into the equation but it’s a fact that covetous is a huge problem in the United States. Just because you don’t have the big house and the new car does not mean you’re not rich. Actually compared to most countries you are very rich. If this country does not get a reality check, greed will run our country in the ground. In this article I wanted to discuss a very basic principle, and that principle is being content with what you have. If you are not content with what you have you will find yourself deep in debt which will ultimately affect your credit score and personal credit report. TV is flooded with glamorous STUFF that really is not yours anyways. Our current economic situation is the result of greed, and sometimes we need to be reminded of how fortunate we already are.

Here are some basics rules to help stay on track.
• Be content with what you have
• Just because its not new does not mean its no good
• Don’t charge more on your credit cards than you can pay off that month
• If you don’t have the cash to pay for what you want, you cannot afford it.
• Save 6 months worth of salary in savings

Life should be a lot less stressful than it is today. Everyone is caught up in the now and forgot about the future. We really need to get back to the basics and be thankful for what we have.

My Grandfather who is a WW-II veteran told me the other day that if this country does not change its course greed will run our country in the ground. He has seen it all and I believe he is right. No matter what anyone tells you be content with what you have.

In the end when its all said and done GOD owns everything.
