Debt and Financial Freedom Don’t Mix
One of my least favorite subjects in the financial freedom arena is debt reduction. People use all kinds of reasons to justify their debt and it becomes a very emotional struggle to eliminate it. I am pleased that I have adopted the “Not So Easy” approach to financial freedom. That way I don’t have to [...]
5 Not So Easy Steps to Financial Freedom
