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!!!

TOO  MUCH TOO SOON? I sat there in the interview with a dear associate whose impression upon my life had been nothing but positive. She had no idea of my level of admiration for her professional demeanor, her kindness and honorable care for those whom she worked with, or her strong parenting which I had had the opportunity to admire from interactions that we had had as our youngest had both attended the same preschool institution. Yes, I was there to interview for a administrative position directly under her. It would have been the greatest position for me to be. Well, it still might be. Yeah... this is fresh. But I am agonizing because my level of comfort in a professional setting may have been too much, too soon. Let me share my shame in hopes that you won't make the same faux paux. I had been brought in for a second interview and was feeling VERY good (not overly confident, but strong) about being able to speak with other staff members who echoed everything that I...

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...
