Daily angel card, from Magical Messages From The Fairies Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. ~ Debt Paid Off

Debt Paid Off: “The old weight and habit of debt is lifted from you and your life.”

“This card signals an impressive shift in your financial situation. You have made the clear decision to be free of old debts, and the Universe has responded in kind. YOu are presented with opportunites to reduce your debt, including new avenues of income and inner guidance about reducing nonessential spending. As you follow these leads, your financial situation rapidly improves.

Additional meanings for this card: Make a clear=cut decision to be debt free and the Unoverse will deliver. Cut up your credit cards. Question each expenditure to see if it is really necessary, or just an impulsive purchase. Know that you deserve to be, and can be, debt free. Resolve to initiate new spending habits-pay cash for everything, and if you do not have the cash, do not buy it. Tithe 10 percent of your income. You will receive a financial windfall. Affirm often that God is the true Source of your supply.”*

I don’t know about you, but whenever I see this card I do a little happy dance! Yey to being debt free, not an easy task in this day and age. Kudos to you if you are reading this wondering what all the fuss is about! We live in an instant gratification society, where you never have to wait for anything. Txt messages are almost instant, the only thing mailed to us these days is the odd bill here and there from companies who haven’t jumped on board with online banking. It’s so easy to live beyond your means, and sometimes necessary just to “keep up”. So a couple of hundred here, a few thousand there, even smaller bills all add up and suddenly, you are in over your head. Add a credit line, mortgage, a couple of car payments and wow, this is getting kinda stressful. Self employed? Even better, hold your breath and hope for the best when things start to slow down a little. And cross your fingers when your clients are slow to pay, like we have done a few times with my husband’s business!

So now here we are with a clear sign that there is a big happy light at the end of the tunnel…. being DEBT FREE!!! So, do we just sit back and do everything exactly the same way as we always do and expect the Divine to start raining money down on us? Well that sounds pretty awesome but it’s a little more give and take than that. Being receptive is key. We must use all of our senses to observe and receive the messages being sent to us. The feeling you get when you are just about to make a totally unnecessary purchase, knowing full well you will experience “buyers remorse” the moment you get home. Reuse! We are reusing the kids back packs and lunch kids for the third year in a row! We pass on clothes to smaller children of friends, and wear the hand me downs passed to us by the cool older kids, buying a few key pieces to tie it all together (well my son only cares about shoes being 6, but my 8yr old daughter is definitely aware of the fashion end of things.) We aren’t paying the $400 for the school bus this year, and I’m passing on after school care, another $285/month for two after schools a week. Of course, the money will be redirected into extra curricular activities and sports, mostly figure skating for my daughter, as well as swimming for both kids and basket ball for my son!

The Universe WILL help you to become debt free (yey) but we must put in a little effort and common sense, so that when the windfall comes we know what to do with all that cash, and we don’t waste it! Think of the people who win the lottery and are bankrupt only months after! So let’s get ready to be debt free! Bring it on!! I’m here to receive it!

Namaste
