My wife and I were married in the early 1980’s. At that time we made an agreement we would only use what cash we could afford to buy presents for each other and eventually our children. We never had a bad birthday or Christmas for any of us and we never had to worry about forthcoming bills in the mail.
In December of 1999 I paid off and closed our last credit card and we only had our mortgage outstanding. We’ve paid cash for everything since, including autos.
It has been relaxing knowing that everything we have is ours with no debt. Sure, we have done without some things but we don’t care.
Hey just buy stocks or havent you heard that the markets are booming lol.
