Wondering why it is so hard to get out of debt? Here's why: we are programmed almost from birth to be a slave to materialism. Almost from birth we are bombarded with messages that program us towards mindless consumption. But the promise of greater happiness through accumulating more "stuff" just never seems to eventuate, or at best is short-lived.
If you really want to be free and happy, ask yourself before you buy anything - will this really make me happier? Budgeting for simple living is easier when you consider the cost of any purchase in terms of how much of your life you had to use up in work to afford it! Only buy things that pass the test and are really worth exchanging those precious hours of your life for!
