Show me the money! moolah, cash, bucks, green, income, wealth…

Whatever we call it.  Money has an influence in our lives.  And it would seem that most of us love it and hate it at the same time, usually because we haven’t used it as wisely as we can.

In the simplest term if you want more money there are two options.

1.  Spend less

2.  Receive more.
Or, Do both.

The first item of business for Inspire University as far as money is concerned is to address the matter of debt.  This is because when we are in debt it is not possible to feel free and internally inspired in all areas of our life.  You can most definitely feel good overall but if you look deep within something will not feel right not too mention that if we are in debt we are not free.

There are some things to look at with debt then we’ll get to some alternative and energy methods for allowing more wealth to flow into your life.  First, what kind of debt is it?  The only time you should go into debt, if ever, is to buy a home.  (There may be some exceptions to this like in certain business startups but then they have an educated time frame to pay off the debt and make a profit.)
Dont do credit cards!!!!!!!!!!!………   They offer a false sense of available money and are one of the major causes of high debt and not enough income in the USA and perhaps the world at this point.  (Not too mention a major source of stress within relationships.)
They are also designed to take forever to pay them off.  Now don’t confuse this with Debit cards which pull the money you already have from your bank or credit union account. Debit cards can be a great tool.  A lot of great deals can be found online that will save you money.  But if you are using your credit card and not paying it off within about two weeks then that online purchase is going to cost you more than driving (using gas) to the store and paying more for the same item.  If you shop online, use a debit card, gift card, or something that already has the money available.  If you are in any kind of financial debt, especially if you have credit card debt go listen to the Dave Ramsey show right now.  Dave shares proven methods, of getting out of debt based on his and other’s experiences that work, and he does it in a fun and enlightening way.  www.DaveRamsey.com also has many great resources and ideas that can be implemented right away for debt elimination.  After listening to his show come back soon to the next article for more methods on being financially free.

to be continued…

P.S.  You can find some of Dave’s books at the local library or at Amazon.com
