About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi! As I write this introduction, it's August 2008.

I'm a husband and father in charge of running the family's finances.

I am finally able to admit that I have been failing at that task.

From the outside, things look great. We live in an awesome neighborhood - a country club no less- we drive nice cars (or at least my wife does;-), and we do a lot of fun stuff. But our books are in shambles and our financial health, like so many others, is balancing on a razor's edge.

One slip and we would lose it all. So I decided, enough is enough!

We have mortgaged ourselves to the gills, carry enormous monthly expenses by my standards, and have got to get out from under this dark cloud of financial anxiety and uncertainty.

ABOUT KICK DEBT'S BUTT

Sure it's aggressive, but I think about debt as a threat, and I don't just pay it down, I attack it with whatever money I can. This blog will help me to track what is working, to vent, to share ideas, and hopefully to find support from others in similar situations. Stay diligent and disciplined and Kick Debt's Butt once and for all!

By the way, I'm not a financial professional so this is grandmotherly advice, not professional advice, and should be treated as such.
