I had a conference call today with a couple that are so excited to have found this information. They have decided that they are completely comfortable investing in their debt rather than investing in the traditional way for now. The wife explained to me that even if they were earning more interest by investing traditionally (which they are not) they would still be investing completely in their debt. The idea of being debt free including the mortgage in about 5 years, for them, makes all kinds of sense. She even indicated to me that she works in the financial community and can’t believe she never was exposed to information quite like this. They are using one of our programs to basically do it on their own and they are so excited about their future now. We both laughed at all the financial and business classes we have taken and no one took any time to show us “debt elimination”. I can’t tell you what a wonderful feeling it is to hear the excitement in a student’s voice or to see their face light up in a seminar when this information resonates with them. It’s priceless.
I’m starting to take these experiences for granted but it did strike me today when I left the car dealership. My car was acting funny and so I had them check the battery. It was very low and needed to be changed. I told them I was going to do it myself. Now for some of you, this might not be a big deal but I remember when that would have been such a blow to have to put $70-$80 on my card because I didn’t have the cash to get a new battery. I can remember that feeling. When I was installing it myself I thought how real life things that come up are so much easier to deal with when you pay cash.
Take care for now and focus. Keith Phildius
