I'm going to be appearing on a Christian Talk radio, the KFUO Morning Show, which airs in St. Louis MO on Thursday morning July 9th.  I'll be talking about my audio book How To Live Debt Free.  I've appeared on other radio stations recently such as WIZM AM14 in LaCrosse WI, WTNI 1640AM in Gulfport MS, WTCM AM58 in Traverse City MI, KJLL 1330AM in Tucson AZ, and Sam Bushman's Real Estate in Focus show syndicated on radio stations across the country.  If you want to hear the interview with Sam, just go here.

Lately, this is a question that is asked more often.  People are losing their homes to foreclosure, they have lost their job, and it seems as if hardworking people all over the United States are suffering from the economic crisis.  Creditors are merciless and the outlook is bleak.  What if you understood why these things are happening?  Wouldn't that be the first step to a solution?  Check out my new article on the topic.

With Dan Brown's book Angels & Demons being released as a movie this week.  This is a good time to be re-examining some of the "facts" Dan Brown assumes.  How do you sort the fact from the fiction in this new movie?  Fortunately there are a few websites.  One site talks about the differences at http://www.truthaboutangelsanddemons.com/ Some of the same questions were raised with the DaVinci Code book and movie.  Those are discussed at http://www.thetruthaboutdavinci.com/ and http://www.leestrobel.com

On a serious note about what you may be going through right now, take a listen to this video.

With all the things happening around us these days, we have a lot to be concerned about.  We don't have to be stressed out about it all.  There is a solution.  We need to put our faith in the right places.  It is obvious that we can't put much faith in our financial system, and there is clearly a lot wrong with our political systems lately.  We shouldn't be putting our faith in the next president to solve all these problems.  He can't.  He is only human.  Instead, we can put our faith in something much greater, that has withstood the challenges against it for centuries.  There is a great film out now on this.

I am working on an audio book about how to get out from under the weight debt is putting on most of us these days.  Even if you don't have any debt, you could learn how the debt of others is affecting your finances.  Using my financial education and my small business experience, and dealing with the closure of that business, I have learned some things that changed my life.  I'd like to share that with you.  Watch for the book, it will soon be available on my website.

One of the big concerns today is how much it cost to gas up our cars.  There is a new technology that is growing through a grass roots effort that will make a major difference in how we fuel our cars in the future.  You can start saving money now by doing a conversion on your current car that will turn your car into a Gas/Water Hybrid.  This works on 99.9% of all cars and could double your gas mileage.  It apparently creates a type of hydrogen on demand and mixes with your gas to run cleaner and more efficiently.  It also does not void your warranty.  The cost to convert is under $200 if you do it yourself.  Here is a link to a website where you can get the instructions.  It is based on the technology of electrolysis, but there are things you can do to increase its efficiency by tweaking.  That is the point of getting the instructions, to join the thousands of others who are experimenting with this, and benefiting from the gas savings in the meantime.  It is a community of experimenters sharing their findings.  The implications are mind boggling.  I'm working on impllementing this myself.  You can see my progress blogged on http://water4gasexperiment.blogspot.com/

One of the reasons I changed my profession was because materialism had taken hold of me.  It wasn't that I made a lot of money, it is that I felt I needed more than I had.  I had to use debt to make more, they call it "leverage."  See what Dave Ramsey says about credit card debt.

Materialism pervades our society today.  I can look at your checkbook and see what is important to you.  Where you spend your money is where your heart is.  Food for thought.

How many of us actually stop and think about why we believe something to be true?  We could be clinging to a faulty idea or philosophy because we haven't taken the time to investigate whether or not it is really true.  Here is a great article about why thinking about our philosophies should be important to us.  Also take a look at the article I've written on this.
