Best time to settle your debt

The Chinese believe that one must settle all debts before the new year - the Chinese New Year. The 9 Feb 2005 marks the first day of the year of the Golden Rooster.

Chinese all over the world begin celebration on this day and it is the most important day on the Chinese calendar. In the olden days, people in China stop working a few days before the new year and do not start working until after the 15th day of the new year.

So much for the Chinese New Year custom, here's something related to this blog - debt and debt free. Chinese believe in clearing their debts yearly. There is a Chinese saying:

有借有还,再借不难

You have to clear all your debt before this year ends - that is, by tomorrow. By doing so, you will have a better and prosperous New Year. And if you are in need of help in the following year, be it financial or otherwise, you will be able to get help quickly to solve your problems. These is so much wisdom in this practice, so let's do it - let's make a commitment to settle all our debts every year.
