$1 up - $4 down! National debt Debt is ruining not only our lives, but our economy. Proverbs 22:7 Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender.
The Future: some guesses China and India are the future giants. Russia and Brazil are not far behind. The US will become less important and influential, especially because of all the debt we carry. As markets lose value, a lot of wealth will shift. You can make money even faster when things go bad.
You build your future from a budget. Envelope to ledger to computer program No room to budge. This is a must. Budget money, time, all your wealth.
Outgo CAN T exceed Income! Get a grip on what you re doing. Come up with the areas you spend. Find the leaks!! Use the leaks!
Accelerator Margin: Get out of debt FAST Analyze debts from least owed to greatest amount owed. Start with the smallest debt. Skim budget for extra money (any amount will do!).
