The Debt Free Lifestyle

What is our goal? What would it look like? Could it be a life where we pay in cash, incur no long term debt? Perhaps credit cards would be stored somewhere in the house, in a safe place perhaps, rarely used, like a passport.

The only cards we would carry would be discount cards, like a safeway card, and we would pay groceries in thick wads of cash. We would be like the Amish, but more worldly. Sort of like if the Amish had hot tubs and drank Cristal. We would not use gas, and drive by those stations in our horse and buggy, and go to the liquor store, for some Dom. Then we would ride back to the farm, and enjoy a home grown organic meal. We would retire to the hot tub in back, and enjoy some world class bubbly.
