The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness by Dave Ra...





This is an amazing opportunity to start your journey into financial freedom! I am listening and taking action. We often don't want to make the necessary changes to obtain what we truly want. Until you are "sick and tired" of being sick and tired, you will do the insane thing over and over again expecting different results. Yes, THAT is insanity!!! So, I begin my journey into the sanity of being reasonable, responsible, and redeemed!



Here are the steps that I have taken so far:



1. Got rid of cable and the internet saving $116 per month.

2. Called Verizon to have my bill reduced. I ended up spending the same amount per month but was able to obtain a much needed upgrade, a second phone to use when me or my daughter are using my new upgraded phone for an internet hotspot. Shamar is the Verizon Supervisor from HEAVEN!

3. Began my journey to eating less and healthier.

4. Sat down for a consultation with a wonderful financial analyst who won't let me off of the hook, Frenise Mann (frenisemann@gmail.com).

5. Saving receipts to assess my spending habits

6. Making arrangements for school loans payments to be reduced drastically.

7. One year from now, I will refinance my car with my credit union.

8. Do more reading and creative activities with my daughter and create memories with my family that don't cost me an arm and a leg!

9. Tithe 100% every month

10. Consistently save



These are just some of the things that I have done to begin my serious journey into being debt free. I have set a goal of 3-5 years with my greatest reward being debt free!!!  In addition, I want to take an all-expense paid trip to Greece!



I'm excited about what is to come! I'm excited about my process, my journey!!! Stay tuned! I will chronicle my progress as I go through this transformation.



Thank you, Lord! I will need Your help! :0)



Speaking Life to my finances today and every day! I AM DEBT FREE!!!

Me Too... My Story

Yeah... Me too... When I see this I can't help but think that I am one of millions. As I reflect back on my own experience and I relive the pain for being raped, I get a little indignant, a little confused, sad and overwhelmed. Truly, I am not completely healed from my 2006 experience. I am, however, on the right path. How do I know? I don't want him dead any more. I want him out of my head and away from my emotions - but I don't want him dead. My experience began as a friendly meet up to go have drinks and party a little bit as I was a tad bit depressed and just needed to get out of my own head, so-to-speak. We were meeting at his house and then off to the Wild Hair in Wicker Park. I was truly looking forward to a different experience with someone whom I trusted to take care of me. You see, the guy who assaulted me was a friend, a brother. We sang at church together and we laughed all of the time. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD HURT ME THE WAY THAT HE DID...N...

Financial Freedom Comes With A Price

As soon as I declared my commitment to being financially free, my world began to crumble slowly... Things happened to the contrary. But what I have found is this, there are principles that are true no matter what phase you are in in your quest for financial freedom and they are: As much as it depends on you, stick to your plan. If you get off track, get back on where you got off and keep going. But don't quit! Give yourself a break. It's been hard enough being a slave to debt. Don't allow the weight of this journey crush you. Get on top of it and stay there. Create a journal and write out your frustrations as well as your victories! Pretty soon, your victories will be most important and far more frequent than your disappointments. Seek positive role models who have been through this process. They understand the highs and lows of your journey. Let it go. Yes! Let it go. You are doing all that you can to make it work! But at some point it is an act of fait...
