A clear and present danger

This is a must see movie for everyone that has a credit card or any type of debt. This along with "King Corn" are two movies that can change your life for the better.

There is a lot of debt out there and people are living paycheck to paycheck. Why? We have become a nation of "gotta have right nows." If you are in that boat, there is a light at the end of the tunnel out there. The Dave Ramsey Show can show a common sense path to empower you to achieve the life you want and need to have. The problem is that we need to live our wage and stop paying the banks all of our money. We need to be debt free and let our money work for us and not the other way around. But we, as a country, are buying things that we do not need with money that we do not have. I have been as guilty as the next person.

This blog is not just about kettlebells, self defense and craziness I come up with. It is a path that I am on to live the right life. As Dave says, "Change your Family Tree." We need to stop teaching our kids that debt will get us what we need. Teach them Debt is Dumb, Cash is King. I am working at teaching mine that Giving, Saving and Spending versus borrowing, spending, suffering to pay back is the way to live. Save your money to purchase what you need and giving to others is the correct path.

The rich rules over the poor and the borrower is always slave to the lender... Proverbs 22:7
