I found this quote about debt and I love it…
“Borrowing money is like wetting your bed in the middle of the night. At first all you feel is warmth and release. But very, very quickly comes the awful, cold discomfort of reality.”
What do you think? It really paints a vivid picture doesn’t it?

The quote is a more vivid expression of a thought I had when I saw a jewelry store ad this week. It was for the store’s credit card and said, “From dreams to reality in a swipe of a card.” I thought, “More like from dreams to reality in one card statement.”
Thanks so much for the mention, Bob!
This quote so perfectly describes a feeling I used to know all too well. Thankfully, I no longer “wet the bed”.
@shannon
yea, you gotta love how they try to manipulate your emotions to get you to spend
@alyssa
yep, me too …
So true!
This might be my new favorite quote! I dunno though, it just feels wrong to have a favorite quote about wetting your bed.
Still – good quote and thanks for sharing.
@John
