Financial Independence Day and Book Release Postponed


My third book, "Break the Chains of Debt Bondage," is tied up in red tape.  The 4th of July target date is not realistic given several recent developments beyond my control.  My adversary is mounting a fierce counter-attack in the closing months of my personal battle against debt.  There is a silver lining in the cloud.  By delaying this book I can come out of my cave and connect with friends and family sooner rather than later.  I'm planning a road trip to the West Coast soon and can't wait to see you.

This is not a white flag of surrender.  It's a time to regroup and spend more quality time with my family.  I'm coming out of my cave to attend weddings and graduations.  I'm going to tiptoe through the tulips and smell the roses.  Thanks for your understanding.  Have a great day.

Dear John Letter to My Credit Card Company



Dear John,

We've been together a long time.  I will never forget how you mesmerized me with your seductive offers.  I fell in love with you at first sight and took you everywhere – vacations, travel, fancy restaurants, etc.  You begged me to never leave home without you.  Well, it's time to say good-bye.  Forever.  You're too high maintenance for me.  If I don't break up with you now, my retirement will be in jeopardy. 

By the way, I see you've been in multiple relationships with others.  How dare you.  I'm so furious that I'm publishing a book about you, your bullies you hired to harass me at all hours of the day and night, and your attorneys you sicked on me when I was at the end of my rope and couldn't meet your usurious demands you cleverly hid in the fine print.  Well, surprise.  I'm doing just fine without you.  I'm warning my friends all about you in my tell all book.  Yep.  Everyone is going to know how you used me and abused me.  I'm so over you.

Don't try to stop me from publishing our break-up story, "Break the Chains of Debt Bondage."  It's coming out on the 4th of July.  You can read every lurid detail on Amazon.com.  I've invested hundreds of hours of personal time learning how to defend myself in court without the aid of attorneys just in case you try to stop me.  Enclosed is your final payment.  We're done.  Don't call me.  And if you do, I'll see you in court.  Go ahead.  Make my day. 

Michael

Is Debt Free an Oxymoron?

Those two words don't look like they belong together, do they?  Debt and free.  30% of Americans are upside down in debt.  There's nothing free about debt to them.  That's why I'm dedicating my third book, Breaking the Chains of Debt Bondage, to them.  I want my readers to know that debt and free can go together like peanut butter and jelly.  Imagine you're playing Monopoly.  The first square on the board is marked "Go."  It's also the first step in the debt-free game.  We'll tap into the community chest together.  We'll find the free parking zones and other great deals.  We'll also find ways to stay out of the debtor's jail.  No matter where you find yourself on the board, there's room for improvement.  Remember this – you're not competing with anyone else on the board.  This site is designed to help you get out of the red, one dollar at a time.
