Continued from page 1

You will forget aboutrepparttar loan you obtained from your relatives.

You will forget aboutrepparttar 138798 erosion of your savings and jewels.

All these will come to your remembrance only whenrepparttar 138799 company commences their recovery forrepparttar 138800 loan you obtained.

All these will come to your remembrance only when your relatives needrepparttar 138801 money they paid.

All these will come to your remembrance when you don't have enough money in your savings account for your urgent

requirement.

Then your mind will think aboutrepparttar 138802 the resource to fill uprepparttar 138803 deficit inrepparttar 138804 family budget,the loan to repay to your relatives

and for your urgent requirement.

You will get easy resource to fill up this deficity,because you are working in a company,getting regular salary,higher salary.Companies are ready to give credit.

You are also ready to get credit from another company to fill uprepparttar 138805 deficit.

So you are ready to closerepparttar 138806 small debt pit,and begin to dig another debt pit,which is little more in size thanrepparttar 138807 first pit.

The same deficit pressure mounts after some time.Again you are prepared to obtain loan from another company.

Now you dig another debt pit, which is more thanrepparttar 138808 size of first and second debt pit.

Like this you will go on digging pit after closingrepparttar 138809 earlier pit to overcome your deficit.

Finally at one stage when you seerepparttar 138810 remaining pit,it will look like a deep pit, which you cannot fill it up from any source.

Sorepparttar 138811 ultimate choice before you will be to dispose offrepparttar 138812 house and fill uprepparttar 138813 huge pit finally stands before you.

You have also made arrangements to dispose offrepparttar 138814 house.

One person came forward to buyrepparttar 138815 house.Even thoughrepparttar 138816 rate offered by him is not as expected by you,you have no

other option except to getrepparttar 138817 money and fill it uprepparttar 138818 debt pit.

The house was finally sold off and you gotrepparttar 138819 money.But while working outrepparttar 138820 amount you have to settle to your

debtors,you need some more money.

However withrepparttar 138821 proceeds realized out of sellingrepparttar 138822 house,you have settled most ofrepparttar 138823 debt and still keep some portion

ofrepparttar 138824 debt.

So what happened to your dream of having house.You have lost all your savings,jewels,and other resources and still you

have to settle more debts?

Where all of your money has gone?

It is no secret,most part of your debt were forrepparttar 138825 interest.

The interest made you to close one pit and dig another pit and finally you was let with a big pit with most part ofrepparttar 138826 pit

were for interest.

This is a common plight of most ofrepparttar 138827 families especially inrepparttar 138828 middle class peoples.

The reason is due to their mental capability to enjoy all modern amenities without knowing their economic capability.

Enjoyingrepparttar 138829 life is absolutely necessary but it should be from our own resources.We can enjoyrepparttar 138830 life but not on

obtaining debt.

We have to increase our resources to enjoyrepparttar 138831 life.We should find outrepparttar 138832 opportunities to increase our resources and

then think about enjoyingrepparttar 138833 amenities.
