Why I do this.

I have studied technology for over 15 years now and those studies provided an education (Eat ‘em up Cats!!!), career and a wonderful income. July of 2018 I was traveling for business and realized that I had been away from my Family for over 90 days that year and started to feel a lot of anxiety around missing them and concern that I was a slave to my job. Even though I have been able to earn a wonderful income, I have never been concerned with saving. Spending, this is an area where few could compete with my ability!

On my way from Providence, RI to my Hotel in Boston at around midnight I was trying to stay awake so I flipped on AM Radio and I hear this guy yelling at his caller about being broke and making stupid financial decisions. It was like he was yelling directly at me! I was fully engaged in the dialog at this point and heard a phrase that to this day is stuck in my head, “You cant’t out-earn your stupidity”. That phrase summed up what I had been feeling for at least the past 5 years and trying to disprove for at least the last 20 years.

Upon arrival at my hotel, I jumped on the internet and searched for @DaveRamsey to see what this guy was selling. Fast forward to today, it has been about 16 months and my life is forever changed! I have eliminated over 58,000.00 in debt, saved over 15,000.00 and hosted Financial Peace helping others eliminate over 40,000 in debt.

Something about getting my finances under control allowed me to look up and see things with much greater clarity. This clarity ignited a fire in my soul and I want to help others find this same sense of freedom.
