&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Hello there, the name is Mike. I&#39;m just a normal guy that lives in the middle of America. I truly love this country even though I think we are going down the wrong path. Now it really doesn&#39;t matter who is in the Oval office in my opinion. We can&#39;t change Washington until we change ourselves in my opinion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;. So, this is where I come in. I want to change the way people think about money and debt. Mine and your money problems are our fault not the government not some big CEO shipping jobs over seas, not wall street and not who ever else you wanna blame its our fault for the situation that we are in. Now, with that being said and I think we all can agree that it is our fault then how do we change it?&amp;nbsp; Can we change it? Or must we just accept it and learn to live with it? Well, in my opinion if we learn to live with it that is what Washington is wanting us to do. Perfect example: My wife called me the other day and was so excited that she got gas for $3.49 a gallon. &quot;Holy crap! I got such a good deal&quot; she said. I sat back and thought really just four years ago gas was $1.81. So,if you take 1.81x2=3.62 so, she paid almost double what she paid four years ago, so that&#39;s not really a good deal in my opinion. We as the America people have just gotten use to the higher gas prices and have taught ourselves that higher gas prices are just a way of life. Now that maybe true that gas will always go up but if we change the way we think about debt then maybe just maybe we could be able to obtain the gas/food/etc that we need to just live if we just got rid of our personal debt. How do we do this? There is a lot that goes into it but it can be summed up in a simple math equation which goes like this...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intensity x time = success &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds simple right. Well it really is that simple.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I don&#39;t have a big financial degree or a degree in writing as I&#39;m sure you have already been able to tell that I&#39;m not the best writer in the world. My grammar lacks in several areas but, I will do my best to fix all the problems if you can just deal with it I think you will see that my message is well worth the reading the bad grammar.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all that being said lets begin with the equation that is above. Intensity over time equals success. Take a step back and think about it....We live in a society today that wants every thing now. Why do you think the credit card companies are so freaken successful. They allow you to get what you want now and pay for it later for a small fee of course lmao 13, 22, 29% is a small fee not in my mind it is not. This mind set has to change. Now lets look at an example of some big companies Microsoft and Bill Gates started in the 1980&#39;s in his parents garage and now look at it computers have become a way of life in this world. We pay our bills online most schools public and private use computers instead of books. So this one man Bill Gates changed the world&amp;nbsp; from his parents garage. Freakin amazing if you ask me! Another examples would be Papa John, Yankee candle and, the fast food giant McDonald&#39;s. They all did this simple equation of Intensity over time equals success. We must apply this simple principal to our own lives and we will all truly be successful in money, love and, we will all be happier in life.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I debt free? Nope not at all at this moment but I will be and I will teach my son to be debt and never and I mean never be in debt. If I can change one life in the world from getting into debt it will be him my little man and that is the real purpose of this blog. I truly hope that you will follow us in this journey and teach yourself as well as your family that being debt free is the only way to go. You may be thinking well this doesn&#39;t sound like any fun at all. Mike you&#39;re telling that we can&#39;t do anything except pay off your bills. No that is not what I&#39;m telling you at all and I will show you through&amp;nbsp; video and posts that you too can have a freakin blast becoming debt free. So I will leave you with some words from a great man Dave Ramsey &quot; Live like no one else now so, later you can live like no one else&quot;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God Bless you all&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
