For many of us, the battle to get out of debt is a long one, taking many months or years. I’m 15 months into my journey now, and I have about four more months to go.
Right now I’m having a harder time than I have before staying on task. The remaining debt is the biggest [...]

Whew. Whew. Whew……………………………………….
When a tragedy happens, everyone copes differently. Some people just want to be alone, others want to be surrounded 24/7.
The last few weeks, I’ve spent most of my time in a hospital watching my future mother-in-law fight a losing battle with cancer.
After she passed away, it’s been difficult for my fiancee to cope. [...]

For three days, I’ve drafted and re-drafted this post. How to not sound like a cold-hearted, calloused individual. The fact of the matter is, I’m a huge giver. More than once I’ve mortgaged myself to the hilt to give to others in need, always figuring I still have good earning potential, so I’ll make up [...]

Does debt have you feeling down? The negative financial consequences of having too much debt has been well documented. Before the recession, debt had become such an ingrained part of our society that many people accepted it as part of life. Unfortunately this sense of normalcy left many people unprepared for the [...]

I can’t ever complain that I have a boring life. Sure, I’m lonely at times, but that is 99% self inflicted. I’m working crazy hours, and have pushed many friends away because I just didn’t want to have to hide what was really going on in my life.
I should be able to change some of [...]

Whew. Finally a minute to breath.
Inhale. Exhale.
Inhale the good. Exhale the stress….
Trip is going well. 1 sale already and I have a decent chance at closing 2 more tomorrow. I’m in San Francisco now after working Sacramento yesterday.
I got pretty much the cheapest non-hostel hotel in San Francisco and it still seems outrageous. I had [...]

I have a self-esteem problem.
That’s difficult for me to admit, but I know that it is true. All the mistakes that I made the last three years have taken a toll on how I value myself. The worst part is that 99% of people when they meet me, or talk to me, have no clue [...]

I saw a upsetting thing as I was checking the analytics account for my business today. It wasn’t what I noticed for my business (stuff there is OK).
It was this journal.
Someone found this site by searching,
“is it time to kill myself? debt”
If you’re reading this now. Please call someone. Anyone. (go here…http://suicidehotlines.com)

Wow. That was really embarrassing.
Really…..embarrassing. I wasn’t expecting that at all.
I went to sleep for a few hours around 5:30am this morning, hoping to sleep about 4 hours, and then start the week off in the office. Around 8 though I’m awakened by footsteps outside the back of my deck.
I look out, and someone is [...]

The last few months have been a big change for me. My whole thought processes on money and wealth have been completely transformed. In good ways I believe. I’ve also been actively trying to revive my life outside of work. When I think about the last two years (when I was trading allot), I can’t [...]
