Financial Peace can be found in these troubled times!

Financial Peace can be found in these troubled times! Yes I know it sound odd, but it is true. My 401k may be suffering like everyone else', but that doesn't mean that my family is suffering during this financial crisis in the market. In fact, the opposite is the case. We are doing better now that we were one year ago! We have no credit card debt. We have no car loans. We have no furniture that we are renting to own. All we have left in our debt category is just over $10K and our house. We have eliminiated well over $30K in debt over the last year on less than $55K of income. If we can do it you can too. Just create a budget and live your financial life responsibly.

The place we find ourselves in this troubled time is actually a peaceful place. We can pay our bills and this year like last year as the holidays approach will not be a time of dread, due to the mounds of new debt that will be taken on for Christmas. I can testify to you all that there is hope if you are on the edge or even if you are already in the icy waters. That hope is in the form of the Seven Baby Steps that can be found in Dave Ramsey's book "The Total Money Make Over".

Do your family a favor this day go find a copy of this book (at the library, a bookstore or online) and begin to read it. You will be greatly blessed if you do! I know we have been. Join us in rejecting the failed policies of living in debt! Discover the joy and the peace that can be had when you no longer live paycheck to paycheck due to the money you have already spent.
