The one thing that most people aren’t willing to do to win financially is sacrifice. They are willing to sacrifice the little extra’s in their life that keep them from gaining control of their spending. They aren’t willing to say no (today) to their children, so they can eliminate the cloud of debt that keeps them down.
On this day of Independence, remember those that willingly sacrificed for your freedom. Remember those that willingly volunteer to step into harms way each and every day, so you can feel safe at home. Understand that without sacrifice, it is almost impossible to enjoy freedom.
We hear so much about the future of our children and grandchildren being mortgaged away because of the spending of the government. I say that for a lot of families that future was already mortgaged because of the spending of the individual family.
Today, commit to a new level of sacrifice so you can gain independence in the area of personal finance. Commit to a new level of sacrifice so your children will not have to experience the bondage of debt. Enjoy this 4th of July, but do not forget the sacrifice that is required for independence both from a financial and from a country perspective.

You are so right, we need to start practice sacrifices for us to achieve financial freedom. Saying no to our children with explanation so that they can understand that it is not a no but it is because as parents we are looking towards giving them a debt free life. Teaching our kids at an early age about financial freedom will also allow them to practice this in their lives as well.
