Can people get a fire lit under them without experiencing desperation? Could someone have talked sense into me when I was going to Starbucks (at least) twice a day, fully complacent, eating dinner at home rarely, sleepwalking my way into debt? What I love about reading your posts lately, is that you have taken so many gifts from your mistakes. I feel the same way about what we went through with our business failure. I am so grateful for the distinctions we gained by failing so miserably. I think that had we not been so screwed, we may have never been able to change our life so dramatically. We had to take drastic measures only because we were stuck and there seemed to be no way out. I will read this post whenever life seems good, just to make sure I don't become complacent.

I remember when I was broke and unemployed. It was hard, but I did what I had to do, and I got through it. I'm genuinely glad of the experience - one of many benefits I got from it was the forced creation of frugal habits that I still keep, and enjoy keeping. I learned that you don't need to buy or own lots of 'stuff' to be happy. If I ever I had to go through something like that again I don't think it would frighten me. I suppose I'm lucky to now have enough money now to have a few options (I've starting a options trading business and I'm going back to university), although I've found I'm a lot less motivated than when I was 'stuck' in near poverty and unemployment. You're probably right, maybe I need to get stuck again ;) Hey DebtKid, excellent post.
