Between credit card offers in the mail promising great rewards and the ability to borrow money for next to nothing, debt can be enticing. My experiences with debt have been 100% negative.

The consumerism of the current financial climate drives us to acquire more and more ‘stuff’, whether we really need it or not. We need to learn that some things are worth waiting for, especially if it means we can avoid going into debt. So, how do you learn to put delayed gratification into effect?
