"Kiwi economist Gareth Morgan, who pocketed $40.5 million when Fairfax bought his son's internet auction business last month, is giving away his share to charity."

The above is an article that was in the Sydney Morning Herald this morning. I found it a very inspiring story.

Every journey begins with a single step...the first step. Today, I take that step.

I'm 40 years old with little savings and a huge debt. Some of the debt comes from being a single mom, but in all honesty...most of the debt comes from my lack of self control.

You would think that as a CPA I would know how to handle money and I do...I give great advice. I just don't follow it myself. So, here and now...I am making a pledge...I am going to get out of debt and live a life of freedom after 20 years of debt slavery.

So, where to begin...?
