He has a day-time radio show and now has a prime-time television show on the new Fox Business News channel. He speaks about living debt free, and how abnormal that is...of course he wants us to live abnormally by living without debt, ie. credit cards, etc.<BR/><BR/>If you have a chance to check him out, you should. At times it's frustrating listening to people with six figure incomes talk about just now becoming debt free, but it's mostly uplifting.<BR/><BR/>His ultimate tag-line: Live now, like no one else...so that later you can live like no one else.<BR/><BR/>Just to give that a slight bit of context...sacrifice now to become debt free, so that later after saving and investing, you can live a much more carefree life due to the newfound wealth.The Mad Hoosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415493548806071023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10940207.post-53993605539951574052007-12-07T22:56:00.000-05:002007-12-07T22:56:00.000-05:00I will follow in your footsteps and try to get a g...I will follow in your footsteps and try to get a grip on my finances. Mainly I just need a better job. I make pennies, pretty much, and it just isn't cutting it with my many, MANY credit card bills (and school loan) I need a better paying job first. <BR/><BR/>I truly fu*ked up with my cards by using one that I had paid down really well, thus running it back up, then being a totally ass hat idiot and forgot to pay around 4 ca<BR/><BR/>Good luck to us both!Gunngirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651095260383123801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10940207.post-25680612620248162552007-12-06T16:41:00.000-05:002007-12-06T16:41:00.000-05:00I am a bit confused.
