Feeling the Pressure

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Hello everyone!  I apologize for not posting much this week.  I have been busy spring cleaning, helping family move, and of course managing the little guy.  My wife just found out that she only has 5 days to test for her Nursing Exam, the NCLEX.  After finding this out and discussing the options we decided [...]

Memorial Day Tribute

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Without those BRAVE men and women that sacrificed and paid the ultimate price, we would not be free to have what we have. Becoming debt free wouldn’t matter much without the freedom we have been given. We should all reflect on what kind of person it takes to fill those shoes, as most [...]

I wasn’t planning on posting until next week, but I just couldn’t help it. I just thought this was funny!

Vacation time is here, and I am glad!

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

“Everyone” says you should get a credit card so you can establish credit.
Well, the truth is “Everyone” is Broke!! You want to establish credit so you can one day buy a house, right? That’s what most people believe they are doing or at least that is the reason they give for getting a [...]

Poverty to Prosperity

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

This is an age old problem that seems to never go away. How do you end poverty completely and is it even possible? I believe that there is an answer to this question, and believe it or not, the Government is not it. The answer is YOU! The way you think, [...]

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

I found these videos on YouTube and wanted to share them. Until recently, balancing my checkbook was non-existent. The truth was I didn’t know how. A little embarrassing yes, but the truth is there are lots of people that do not bother with this financial detail. For those of you who [...]
