Ultimate debt relief: Understanding the psychology of debt

By Kenneth Moore | Oct 24, 2011

You’ve dug yourself into a hole with credit card debt and wonder what’s next. Digging out of debt is important, but first you may have to dig deeper for understanding psychological factors leading to credit card debt.

Devil in the details: discover what you’re buying, where and why you’re using credit

Financial anthropologist and money coach Denise Hughes identifies factors contributing to problems involving credit card debt:

  • Having a different “money-style” than your spouse or partner: Using credit cards for funding purchases you want to keep secret, or revenge shopping when you’ve had a domestic spat are examples of how conflicts over money can create credit card debt.
  • Compulsive shopping: Rewarding yourself with a plastic-funded shopping spree after a bad day at work may seem therapeutic, but it can lead to family problems, divorce and bankruptcy.

RULE ONE MEANS YOU KNOW YOU KNOW

By Kenneth Moore | Oct 20, 2011

Stockpiling a stock requires a high degree of certainty.  I try to think that its the only business I’ll buy. Ever.  Y’all know that already of course.  

Its easy to say it, but it puts up a heck of a bar, doesn’t it?  Last year I bought 3 businesses.  This year I bought one.  I’m getting pretty comfortable with several more but I have to learn a lot before I get past the first M.
