To enjoy life. Debt has a way of diminishing our quality of life. It often takes the enjoyment out of the simple things in life. After piling up debt after debt, we spend half our lives just paying the cost of interest, in addition to repaying the debt.

To fulfill dreams. Debt has a way of dashing our hopes, dimming our vision and destroying our dreams. The more debt we incur, the less chance we have of implementing our goals, executing our ambitions and realizing our dreams.

To enjoy retirement. When will you retire? Will it be 15 to 20 years after your friends retire?

What other reasons can you think of! Your comments appreciated!
