The Introvert Spender Doesn’t Face Debt
For many of us, debt is just a way of life but for others, the fear of debt entering their lives can be a nightmare.
Introvert spenders are often embarrassed by their carefulness with money and fear that people will label them boring and unadventurous.
Many are just born with an inbuilt tendency to be careful with money and, as children will often save their pocket money rather than blow it on magazines, sweets or toys. As a child, Laura said “My uncle would often become upset with me because he would give me money to buy myself a treat but I would always save it.” Maybe, even as a child, Laura new that frivolity with money could lead to debt.
Laura says that deep down she knew that saving would buy her the things that she wanted. She dreamt of owning a posh home and nice clothes. When she grew older, she purchased that nice home but never overstretched her mortgage.
Laura describes herself as someone who is not interested in taking huge gambles with money and her self-discipline helps her to stay out of debt. She says that she only purchases the things that she absolutely needs and will shop around for the cheapest and best bargains. She is always aware of the cost of living and will even end phone calls quickly if they are running up the bill. She also uses energy wisely and efficiently and every electrical appliance is turned off if it is not being used.
People have described her as being ‘stingy’ but she likes to think of herself as a solvent person in an insolvent world.
Debt can take the shine off life. Getting debt help is the first step to becoming debt free
