Why the Amish Are Laughing All the Way to the Bank

Living Debt-Free

While credit card debt soars past $1 trillion in America, the Amish community remains virtually untouched by this financial burden. Their approach to money is refreshingly straightforward: avoid debt whenever possible and rely on cash or hefty down payments. Credit cards, for them, are reserved strictly for necessities—if they have one at all.

The Amish believe that owing money, especially to banks, disrupts financial independence and community values. By living within their means and avoiding unnecessary borrowing, they maintain a financial peace of mind that seems rare today. Their strategy isn’t flashy, but it keeps them grounded, free from the cycle of high interest rates and mounting debt.
