Debt Free Affirmations – For Each Day of the Month

I have to be honest here; this is not something that I do nor used in our debt elimination journey (we are on stage 6 of the Dave Ramsey Baby Steps program). However, I have friends who have used these types of debt free affirmations in their debt-free journey, and they found it of great benefit. When I spoke with them about this, it wasn’t surprising, as affirmations were something they had used in other parts of their lives.

I was also interested to learn that often an affirmations approach does suit those of us who are more “non-numbers” people, or as my dear wife would say, the regular people when it came to this. No, it isn’t because they don’t do the budgets, but they gain much greater reward from the less tangible benefits from being debt-free – as opposed to someone like me who perhaps enjoys the numbers a little too much.

However, with an open mind, on with the affirmations for each day of the month that we hope will help you in your debt-free journey, whatever stage you are at.

We have been down this path of trying to gain financial freedom – we are still on it. Although we haven’t used debt free affirmations as part of this process, we thought you might like to learn about our journey.

The first that we tackled was to control our spending, and we have a couple of articles that may be helpful on this. They can be found here and here. We were heavily influenced by the baby steps Dave Ramsey teaches. This plan worked for us, and we recommend it to anyone following behind us. Along the way, we have established the four main principles we follow for our wealth creation, not created by us, but following those ahead of us. And you can find that article here. And you can see one of our earlier articles we wrote on managing money here. Although we don’t recommend debt consolidation generally now, you can’t go wrong with these four recommendations.
