Although the name of this article is inspired by a book title from twenty years ago, I still love that little phrase. One of the most human of all the things we do is try to avoid pain. No one wants to be [...]
Sure, we say the “clothes don’t make the man.” But as I visit Christians sharing the No Debt, No Sweat! Christian Money Management Seminar, I see some really nice threads. A major expense for most families is clothing. But, there are ways to [...]
Several months ago, I was totally bummed. It seemed that life was falling in on me. Nothing was the way it should be. Among other things, I had lost my voice. Being a full time Retooled and Refueled Seminar speaker, you can see [...]
For decades, the common wisdom has been that it’s good to own a home. Tax laws have been structured to encourage home buying. (Owners get tax deductions on their mortgage interest.) The net result was that by 2004 about 70 percent of Americans [...]
Here’s an understatement: Life is busy. If you are like me, the 168 hour week you are presently experiencing is only about half of what you need. Sometimes busyness and tight deadlines cause me to perform in a less than considerate way. I [...]
Last time, I shared my history as a car salesman and encouraged Christians to be shrewd in their dealings with the world – especially in regards to their finances. Now, I want to share some tips on the right way to buy a [...]

You are not alone! Debt problems don’t just happen to uneducated folks. Bright, suave, business tycoons and financiers fall into the debt trap. Borrowing, and the associated problems it can bring, affects people in all walks of life. Today, if you’re struggling with debt, I want you to know that you’re not alone—not by a long shot. The average family carrying credit card debt probably owes a little over $11,000. The good news is, there is hope!
