In 1994, I was able to eliminate all of my debts except for my mortgage.
Within five years, we were engulfed in unsecured debt once again. Two years later, the stock market crashed, and I lost a lucrative source of side income.
The result was financial ruin.
However, I’m glad it happened. Because I received a priceless education from a credit counselor.
My counselor, Mark Jones, taught Briana and myself just what common mistakes we made. He showed us that we didn’t need to feel bad or guilty about it, it could happen to anyone. In fact, our society is geared towards ensuring that we all get deeply into debt.
And most importantly of all, Mark taught us how to stop the bleeding, and start thinking in terms of making our money work for us.
Today’s FamilyFirst site may seem a bit puzzling. It’s based in Arkansas, for Arkansans. However, bear with me, please.
The site is Credit Counseling of Arkansas. It has lots of tips for managing your money, and also an online quiz to test your financial fitness.
However, here’s why I chose a local non-profit credit counseling website: The most valuable part of the service is the free seminars showing you how to take control of your finances.
We went to a single session that lasted just over an hour. We walked out fiscally responsible.
It happened that quickly. My wife and I knew that we would never, ever get into debt trouble again. In fact, we began building personal wealth, right on the spot.
So check out today’s FamilyFirst site. Then, even if you feel that your finances are under control, make an appointment to meet with your local non-profit credit counseling service.
I GUARANTEE it will make a very positive difference in your life.
