How I Attracted $200,000

Ranked #5,029 in Business & Work, #159,186 overall

How it all Began

Basically I got tired of owing everyone else money. I stopped what I was doing long enough to look at my life. I owed money on my house, on one of my cars, on student loans, on credit cards, on short term loans, to family members and so on. It was staggering. I had no idea how I let myself get into such a large financial mess.

I started to search out ways to help relieve some of this debt. I wanted to find a way to become debt free. That was when I discovered Dave Ramsey. By the grace of God, someone gave us their copy of the Financial Peace University. It was one of the most eye opening experiences I have ever had. Who knew you didn't have to owe the bank for years to own a car. Did you know that? I didn't. I grew up just believing that I needed to get a new car from the dealership and pay for it for 5 or 6 years before I trade it in and repeat the cycle all over again.

I started downloading Dave's free podcast on iTunes and listening to him help people all over the world five days a week for about 45 minutes. This was a great learning tool for me. Dave concreted his teachings into my head every night while I was at work throwing up stock onto shelves. This was an amazing tool to help me get out of debt. Every week I listened to Dave give hope to caller after caller who was calling in desperate need because they were in financial strife like myself. Then on Fridays I got to feel the exhilaration of people who were calling in to let Dave know they were completely debt free. That is what I want for myself.
