Are you free?

Freedom can look different for everyone. But the freedom I'm speaking of on this platform is financial freedom.

I remember sitting at my kitchen table with a stack of bills trying to figure out how in the world did I get here. I had a ritual. Every payday, I would figure out who was going to get paid and who wasn't. My husband, son and I were living in this wonderful home with a sprawling back-yard (perfect for entertaining the Joneses), but we were broke. We drove nice cars, paid private school tuition, but we were broke. Barely any savings, multiple mortgages; it was a complete mess.

One day, many years ago, I made a decision to stop living a financial lie. I let all the "stuff" go. The big house, private school tuition and everything else that was holding me hostage financially.

”One of the best investments you can make over the next five years is going to be paying off your debts. So my advice is to pay off what you owe as fast as you can. The faster you pay off your debt, the faster you can achieve financial freedom.”

The truth is we’ve all been misled.

• We’ve been misled by billions of dollars’ worth of advertising that gets us to buy things we don’t really need.

• We’ve been misled by a multibillion-dollar credit card industry that tells us the good life can be ours for the taking when we use their credit cards.

• We’ve been misled by the banks that loaned us money for homes they knew millions of us couldn’t really afford.

• We’ve been misled by the subprime lenders who promoted the idea that we were “silly” to keep equity in our homes when we could “cash it out” to pay off our credit cards.

• We’ve been misled by a tax system that promotes heavy borrowing by offering tax deductions.

• We were sold a bill of goods—or, more accurately, a bill of loans (trillions of dollars of them). And now this bill has come due, and our debt has become our personal financial prison.

Are you tired of being in debt? Are you tired of waking up each morning to face an ever larger pile of bills? Do you find yourself working harder than ever to pay for things you no longer care about—or even want to own? If so, you are not alone. Millions of people feel the same way—and like you, they are ready for a life free from debt.

The good news is that there is a way out of this nightmare. There is a better way to live starting today, allow us to show you how.
