Day 67: On Borrowing Money

Every time you borrow money, you’re robbing your future self.

—Nathan W. Morris

Borrowing money for consumption is a widespread disease in today’s

world, fueled by excess and materialism. Unlike taking on a business loan

to achieve a return on investment that is higher than the interest rate — a

practice  that,  when  done  wisely,  can  enrich  your  future  self  —  consumer

loans only serve to satisfy the desire for instant gratification, while robbing

(sometimes spectacularly) your future self.

Each  time  you’re  thinking  about  getting  a  loan  to  satisfy  a  desire  to

own an item that belongs in the “want” category, imagine that you have the

power to stop your past self from getting all the consumer loans you have

today (if you don’t have any, pretend that you do). Just like that, you can

erase  all  of  them  and  finally  gain  peace  of  mind.  Would  you  still  go  into

debt to finance your toys?

Five years from now, you’ll look back at your past self, puzzled at how

short-sighted  you  were  to  gift  yourself  with  such  a  bad  future  for  the

fleeting gratification of getting a new car or TV.

“But I can get such great terms, it’s almost a free loan!” you’re saying?

The terms don’t matter; the habit of prioritizing your present self over your

future self eventually affects not only your finances, but every other area of

your life.

Developing discipline to do without unnecessary feel-good purchases

you  can’t  afford  is  one  of  the  most  important  things  you  can  do  to  gain

more self-control and ensure that your future is better than the present.
