It is a very interesting term and I agree that getting out of debt is harder than getting in. Clearing debts involves lots of sacrifices and people tend to give up.

It is a long process and I believe keeping a journal of your debts paid is useful as you see the results of your perseverance.

Dangit, Gibble, that was a much more awesome version of a post I just wrote.

I’m 100% with you. Even as a gazelle rests or redirects its efforts that doesn’t mean getting into debt at the same time.

I don’t feel like we’re as gazelle intense as we could be. And the little speed bumps in life that Ron mentioned tend to derail us some. But we generally move in the right direction. It’s sometimes a difficult balance to pay off your debt, yet make sure your children don’t pay the price for the mistakes of the parents.

I think it’s easier to be all-out gazelle intense if you know you can pay off your debt in a relatively short amount of time. In my case, it will take more than a year even if we got really intense, and I think gazelle intensity would quickly backfire into an all-out splurge, making things much worse. Balance is the key.
