The First Step

March 29th, 2006 at 12:07 am

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...?

    Hi just wanted to say good luck. I found this site by accident and I love it, hope you'll stick around.

    I too am working towards paying off debt and saving for a new home at the same time.
    If you don't mind I'll like to suggest you read Dave Ramsey ''Total Money Make Over'' (Check it out at your local library then that way you don't wast any money)

    I may not agree with him 100% but I did/am following his advice

    Once again good luck and welcome
