debt consolidation

I know that I would love to live the life of a rock star someday but for now, in this lifetime, I think that I am just too nervous about things to live that freely. I mean I think I am just too concerned with the future and with meeting a lot of goals financially to be able to let go and just worry about song writing alone. Just look at the way I am living right now for instance. I don't even choose to live the normal college student life. I don't think I could ever try to put myself in a situation where I am living paycheck to paycheck like most of my friends. Not me I need to be putting money away, investing, working on a way to eliminate debt, and working hard every day. I know that this is the only life I've got and I am not going to miss out on any of the things that I really want to do for the sake of just letting go. I think that everyone has their own style and if you want to live one way it's up to you. I could be a rock star someday but I would spend my time off tour working on debt consolidation. I wouldn't ever want to be one of those people like Willie Nelson who worked all of their lives and had a great career before he finally got lost in a mountain of debt. He didn't ever consider debt consolidators because he was working on songs while people were stealing his money out from under him. I don't think I would ever let myself be put in to a situation where I am not in control of my own money while I am apparently making millions. It just doesn't make any sense. I think that is why many artists today are thinking a lot more like me and investing their money in deals that the older guys and gals never would have out of principle. I do have standards and the like but if I was making thousands a year based on my art then I would invest it to make sure I didn't become old news and stuck in the gutter.
