Debt is so ingrained into our culture that most Americans can't even envision a car without a payment ... a house without a mortgage ... a student without a loan ... and credit without a card. We've been sold debt with such repetition and with such fervor that most folks can't conceive of what it would be like to have NO payments.

I've got a young man who works for me who says you don't need to discover your dreams - you need to recover them.

You don't want to have so much money going toward your mortgage every month that you can't enjoy life or take care of your other financial responsibilities.
