Chapter 1. So you have credit card debt?
Youre not alone!
I remember the days when I would have to play the Credit Card Fandango you know, pay off one credit card with another.
Oooh, I got really good at it too! I knew how to change the due dates on each of my cards so that I could transfer balances without any late fees.
I knew just about every trick in the book for putting off my financial problems. And I was darn good at it too.
The problem was, I was still broke. I was still in debt. And I was still not earning enough money to have even a hope of paying off my debt.
But I turned it all around in a really weird way. And Im going to show you how in this book.
The Debt Crisis
Today, the average household carries $10,679 in credit card debt. There are millions of Americans struggling to pay their bills. Many simply dont have enough incoming cash to pay for all of their bills so theyre left with a tough choice
Which bill should I pay this month, given that I cant pay them all? My mortgage? Credit cards? Utilities? Car payments?
If youre struggling to answer this question every month, know that youre not alone. There are millions of people walking in your shoes, just like you, who have this same problem. And the good news is there IS a solution to this problem!
In this book, youre going to discover some incredible facts and information about your personal finances, about your credit cards, about your credit score, and much, much more.
Im going to show you how you can settle your unpaid credit card loans at a discount of 40-80% or more!
Im also going to show you how you can raise your credit score, increase your income, reduce your tax liabilities and dramatically improve the quality of your financial life!
Take Control of Your Financial Life
The first step is to understand EXACTLY where you are now financially and how you got there. So please answer the following questions to make sure you understand exactly where you are right now financially.
If you dont answer the questions, the rest of the information here will not be nearly as useful to you.
Why? Because you wont be sure if it applies to you or not.
You see, most people go their whole lives in denial of their financial problems. They say, Yeah, Ive got credit card debt but its not a big deal.
I ask, Well how much debt do you have.
They say, I dont know, maybe a few thousand.
But theyve never actually taken a look and added it all up! That few thousand over the years turns into $47,312 of credit card debt at an average 19.3% interest!
You MUST get clear on where you are RIGHT NOW if you want to improve your financial life and get rid of your debt once and for all. Are you ready for that?
Tony Robbins, a multi-millionaire author, businessman and business coach says,
The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions.
Ive compiled the MOST IMPORTANT FINANCIAL QUESTIONS IN THE WORLD and put them all in one easy place for you. Your job is to honestly ask and answer these questions and learn the lessons.
How did I get into this financial hole?
The simple truth of the matter is this most people who are behind on their bills and owe more than they can afford to pay are in that situation because of denial and procrastination.
You knew you should have stopped spending so much money on clothes and trinkets months ago
But you put it off.
You knew you should get a budget for your family and stick to it
But you put it off.
You knew you shouldnt take out that 2nd mortgage or buy a new car
But you did it anyway.
Why? Because you were in denial about your financial situation.
Its ok. The first step to financial recovery and financial growth is acceptance and facing the facts. As it says in the bible,
The Truth shall set you free!
Oh, how true it is! The truth WILL set you free if you will courageously face the truth and be wise enough to learn from it and take action NOW to improve your life. This book is your first step.
Congratulations on getting started!
