As unattainable as it may sound, we can either live with having debt or we can live without having debt. Here are our options, keeping in mind that we can&#8217;t have both. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/kerryaclark.com\/blog\/live-with-or-without-debt\/\"><b>Make Your Choice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For us, we&#8217;ve decided to live without debt since it&#8217;s a choice we can [and get to] make. \u00a0Now it&#8217;s your turn, make a choice.If you choose to live with debt, then do it, but within your own set of \u00a0parameters and no one else&#8217;s.
