It’s all on you, baby!

That’s a basic message, but a very important one – and one that is the cornerstone message over at my humble blog.

We’re all adults here. Being personally responsible for our every action is inherent in the job description.

Most folks who find themselves in financial trouble got there by their own doing and as such have to buy into personal responsibility before they can fix things.

All the best,

I always appreciate it when someone reminds us of this. I get so sick of the victim attitude — especially as it revolves around debt and credit.

No one made you buy more than you should (they just provided the means to do it — not the same thing)

No one made you buy too big a house

Etc.

I agree with you, and I don’t carry a balance on my cards. But I will say that some credit card practices have been a bit predatory of late–like lowering someone’s credit limit, then raising interest rates because their credit score is low. . .then again, it makes me want to not do business with such corporations . . .and I don’t

Personal responsability is one of my favorite topics. It amazes me how many people just don’t have it. I wish the would wake up and face the music instead of hoping and dreaming someone will take care of them.

The root cause of most financial issues explained in a direct, honest way. Thanks for helping to motivate us all to look at what we are going to tie the financial chains of debt tighter. Turn around and take one step in the right direction, then another, then another, and so on until you are FREE!
