What are my goals in life? I think my biggest goal is to get OUT of debt. I'd love to be totally debt free. Here's my favorite scriptures on this subject.

"Keep out of debt and owe no man anything." -Romans 13:8 Amplified

"The borrower is servant to the lender." -Proverbs 22:7 NIV

"The wise man saves for the future, but the foolish man spends whatever he gets." -Proverbs 21:20 TLB

Id love to be debt free, have money saved for emergencies, and be able to donate more... that would be a good place to be. That is true financial freedom.

to learn more on this, check out crown's money map.
