Nope! It’s about doing what you love and loving what you do. It’s about using your passion and your strengths to enjoy your place in life—to make a difference.

The goal is of course to be making a higher percent of interest than you borrow on.

The only thing I learned from that book was that rich people and poor people look at money differently. His idea that leveraging debt is the way to prosperity is ridiculous. I do not view <strong>mortgaging a house</strong> as stupid but I would recommend that more people consider either getting a 15 year mortgage or paying 100% down for the house. We are going to put 100% for the next house we get and eliminate our need for a mortgage. There are many benefits to doing this, one being, that we will owe no one. (I only recommend taking out a mortgage when a person has 3/6 months saved up for emergencies.) All debt is bad in my opinion because it means that you owe someone else money, AND are paying them interest in the process. Paying extra for something is never good. Thanks for leaving your comment. :) I hope it’s not Rich Dad Poor Dad. The only thing I learned from that book was that rich people and poor people look at money differently.

The author teaches that consumer debt is bad, but debt resulting from acquiring assets is good. The information is definitely useful for most that are stuck in a circle of revolving debt.

It sounds to me like the company you worked for was no good anyway. You deserve better! I would highly recommend Dan Millers book: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0805431888?ie=UTF8&tag=eneofdeb0b-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0805431888" rel="nofollow">48 Days To The Work You Love</a>. Good luck Donna, and I would love to hear how this turns out for you. It may be a blessing in disguise. :D Sorry to hear about your unfortunate circumstances Donna!

If you connect the feeling of freedom and of the weekend with the tasks that are required to get you out of debt this will make you feel good about taking those specific actions. E.g. Instead of upgrading to a larger meal just take the smaller size. You should get a little bump of that Friday night feeling! This is brilliant.

You see, I have been off work secondary to a ruptured tendon in my left foot. I am due to go back in 6 weeks but because my family leave ended Monday, my boss called me and told me that I have been terminated. This message has left me with questions for myself as to my career path from this point on. Keep up the good work, your site always has good info for me. This is a timely message for me today.
