Your #1 fan asked:


Have you been forclosed on, lost your job, having trouble making ends meet, or are you one of the few lucky souls that has weathered this economic mess?

    The mess hasn’t even started yet. We are just seeing the very beginnings of it.

    I have a mfg company in Michigan, Michigan’s economy died in 2002/2003. Then nationwide it stopped at the beginning of last year.

    Result? 2 less employees, higher taxes, inability to draw a paycheck, and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

    Welcome to our global economy.

    Hang on, it will only get worse.

    I have been fortunate, I just landed a great job! But I have learned a lesson, because next time I may not be so lucky! I will now go back to school and pay off all debt and most importantly..SAVE MONEY!!

    I have never been more passionate in telling low-income wage earners to pay their debts.

    I am greatful that I am not affected and currently doing very successful w/ my business. I know many ppl out there are having a hard time w/ finding jobs, and I’ve found out for any of you dreaming of being your own boss, home based businesses are at a sky rocketing demand. I don’t have to worry about foreclosing my house, waiting for my next pay check so I can pay my bills, or not having time w/ my family.
    If you want to see what I do check out – pay is wonderful -
