Thursday, November 2, 2006Recap: SuccessWarrior's Plan for Financial FreedomHere is the outline for the plan that my wife and I are following. There is really nothing new in this plan. I've taken everything that I have read or heard about getting ahead financially and distilled it down to 5 simple steps. Once again, let me say that simple does not mean easy. This is not an...

TV, movies, commercials, and ads in magazines all show us what we need to be happy, popular, sexy, and look successful. Credit card companies send you ads for cool new technology and...

It's a pattern that ensures their financial slavery. The five year refinancing of their homes. The trap has so many factors going against people that it is surprising that people do it...but they do and so we will discuss...

It has stuck with me even if it has taken me this long to figure it out completely. It's a lesson that I want to pass on to anyone that will listen. Interest is one of the biggest factors when we talk about the rich getting...

I don't know about the finger pointing but I do know that there are two things that are true. Poorer people are easier to control. The middle class is shrinking with more people falling on the poor side of the...

What we have decided for now is to do a little of both. We are going to pay on the house until we are no longer paying mortgage insurance because it's such a scam and a...

It's a plan that I have put together based on what I have read and heard. It's nothing new really except that I have simplified it down. I believe that simple plans are the easiest to follow. Right now all of our extra money is...

The position that I was supposed to move into this week didn't open up as expected. The guy put in his two week's notice about 3 weeks ago but hasn't actually quit. His out may have fallen through...

This could probably be in my theory blog but it goes along with my topic of teaming up for financial freedom so I'll post it here. I may add a few extra thoughts in the other blog later today but I'll hit the high...

Having you and your partner focused on the same goals changes things in a big way. It's not just the synergy. I do think that when both of you start aiming at the same target, things will happen to speed the trip. I have seen it happen. But... Sign in to see full entry. |
