Debt and Interest

When we make purchases on credit, they give us only an illusion of prosperity. We think we own things, but the reality is, our things own us.

FACT - Unless You Control It

"Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies; it never goes to the hospital; it works on Sundays and holidays; it never takes a vacation; it never visits nor travels;... it is never laid off work nor discharged from employment; it never works short hours;... it has no love, no sympathy; it is as hard and souless as a granite cliff. Once in debt, interest is your constant companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands, nor orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands it crushes you."

J. RuebenClark, Jr. Attorney, 1938
