is an extension of my book, Sick and Tired of Being Broke: The first steps on the road to financial independence for Everyday People. The book recounts the first steps on my journey to becoming debt-free and financially independent. I wrote the book for others like myself who grew up without the benefits of basic financial information. My hope is that together we will uncover the information that we need to set ourselves free - free from the bondage of debt.
Financial information is the key to change.
Unfortunately, for most of us, basic financial information is not taught in schools. We live in a country that continues to pass out diplomas to people who lack healthy financial skills, creating a society not prepared to handle the financial ups and downs of everyday living. The road to financial freedom is paved with information; join me on my journey.

Introduction: Sick and Tired of Being Broke
About Me
Hi
My name is Lucille Tyler Baldwin, I am not a financial advisor or an expert when it comes to money. What I am is a divorced mother of two who was Sick and Tired of living paycheck to paycheck and decided to take charge of my financial situation. My life had taken an unexpected detour. I had become a single mother raising my daughters alone. I believed in love and fairy tales and thought that love alone was enough to create a happy life. I NEVER imagined that I would be divorced and raising my daughters alone, but hey, life happens!
At the tender age of 21 I married my high school sweetheart and moved hundreds of miles away from my family and friends. I was full of life, love and ready for new adventures as a military wife. I sometimes like to joke that I was young and dumb, but that’s not nice. What I learned on my journey is that it does not matter if you are a janitor, a server, a teacher, or even a single mom, the power to become debt free and create wealth is in your hands.
Why Did I Write a Book?
I wanted to write a book for others like myself who grew up without the benefits of basic financial information. The sad truth is that almost 80% of Americans are in debt and struggling to make ends meet or just not getting ahead financially.
The main cause of this problem is simple: a lack of financial information. Until recently I was one of the 80% overwhelmed with debt and struggling to make ends meet. Once I learned how to take control of my money my goal was to share this empowering information with others. I started with .25 cents, determination, and a plan. The most powerful tool that I had was the belief that living debt free was possible. If I can do it, you can do it! If you are ready to free yourself from debt and watch your bank account grow then I invite you to join me as I continue my journey to creating wealth.
