Debt Looks Better On You

here’s something almost pathetic about watching a wallet convince themselves that they’re finally going to keep their money.

“I’ll save this paycheck.”

“I’ll be responsible this time.”

“I won’t spend anything.”

And then the reality hits.

You chose this.

You chose to become the kind of person who gets satisfaction from watching their hard-earned money leave their hands. You chose to keep track of what you owe. You chose to stare at that number and know that it could be bigger.

So stop acting like your debt is some terrible burden you accidentally ended up with.

Wear it.

Own it.

Let it remind you every time you clock in that you’re working toward something beyond your pathetic little paycheck. Your job isn’t just paying your bills anymore. Your work becomes another reminder that someone else can have a claim on what you earn.

And when payday comes, don’t sit there admiring the balance like it belongs to you.

Look at it.

Think about what you owe.

Then pay your debt.

Because apparently, being in debt looks a hell of a lot better on you than having money ever did.
