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.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger72125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840781779606880038.post-51755251250477915962020-02-08T15:25:00.001-05:002020-02-08T15:25:21.334-05:00The Journey to Wealth: Who Am I?The Journey to Wealth: Who Am I?: Who Am I?

other children like myself who receive free, or reduced, lunch. I am often

5 will continue working out of need,
36 will be dead,

We will die young or eventually reach the age of retirement. Young people believe that retirement is something that only happens to old people. Guess what? At the end of each day you are one day closer to "old age" and one day closer to reaching the age where people start to retire.

TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR MONEY
in 2018
The wealth gap between the haves and the have-nots in this country continues to widen. We are fast approaching a new year. Do we continue using the same kind of thinking and actions in the new year that has prevented us from living debt-free and creating wealth?
Do we continue feeding our minds with chaos such as reality television shows that teach us Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840781779606880038.post-71168603664501814962013-11-07T19:37:00.000-05:002014-02-16T13:06:21.133-05:00I AM WOMAN
When circumstances knock us down, we have three

we can get up wiser with a new determination never to be down again.
