In reference to your post, I think that Proverbs (which is an oh-so-very wise book) says, "The rich rules over the poor and the borrow is servant to the lender" (Prov. 22:7) Indeed. This is one of the things that excites me most about my debt-free journey. I know that once I'm out of debt, there's a much bigger world of opportunities available when I'm not tied to making a particular income just to keep my world afloat. I'll also be so much more free to serve God because, like you said, my thoughts will be freed up and not preoccupied (read: consumed) with finances as they have been. No longer will I be a slave to my debtors. That is going to be AWESOME.
