Old habits die hard

Often, people hold clear beliefs that they think justify financial behavior. The habit is no accident, which can make it harder to un-learn. “I have some family members who think debt is okay…not mortgage debt, but consumer debt,” says Dorsainvil. “They believe ‘When I die I can’t take it with me’ or ‘When I die, this debt is not mine.’ That’s not healthy and is not a good financial habit to have and it’s going to take some time to break that habit.”
