The excitement was overwhelming. I proudly signed the contract and sat
back to revel in my glory,I had sold my home and doubled the price that
I had paid for it, I was a winner.
I couldnt wait for the day when I could walk into the bank and pay the
mortgage off. How naive I was.
My short sharp shift into reality came when I understood my final mortgage
summary. Total interest paid over mortgage duration. Double the original
sum. Total principal paid over mortgage duration. Nine percent of the total
original sum. I got out my dictionary and my calculator. I wished like
anything now that I had taken more notice in fifth form accounting at
school, I didnt even know what interest and principal were. It all fell
in place to me and finally I understood what I was reading, I couldnt
believe it, I began to weep inconsolably, and continued to do so for
another three or four days off and on, I kid you not, I was devastated.
I had paid back the bank more than I got for my home and I still owed
them half of that. Can you imagine how stupid I felt. I thought that I
must be the biggest idiot in the world. I stopped crying eventually,
heading straight to the bottle store, I then preceeded to hang out with
Jack for a few days trying to understand how an intelligent person
like myself could be so ignorant.
It was during this drunken haze that I discovered I wasnt the pathetic fool
that I thought I was, infact, in the big scheme of things I was actually
better off than 99% of my many friends and aquaintances. Aquaintances whom
old friendships had be revived and great friendships made greater, during
mine and Jack's quest to find the truth. We discovered that most people
were paying minimum payment amounts on their bills, or mortgages. In fact
there was only one person who had enough knowledge about money to be
debt free apart from a mortgage, which was being paid off quickly. I wanted
to know how they had done it of course. There was no way I was going to
let this happen to me again, but you know what, they werent telling. It was a
secret, their secret.
After pondering my newly found knowledge, I said goodbye to Jack, promising
not to leave it too long before we catch up again, and ensuring him that I will
try to see him sometimes other than when Im in a crisis. I began my quest
to find the magic formula, I wanted to learn the secrets of money that they
dont teach you in school. I spent hours and hours researching, trying,
researching and trying some more. When I came across the
fantastic advice offered by Clint Holland, I knew that I had cracked it.
This is the most comprehensive, informative no bullshit guide to debt
elimination, and wealth accumulation on the net today. This will get
you out of debt, not doubt about that, it will also teach you how to wipe
off years off your mortgage.
I have been able to use this infomation to buy and pay for another home
in under three years, I have also been able to teach my friends how to
do the same thing. The most satisfying person I have talked to thus far
had a debt of $1700.00, paltry you may say, thats what I thought at the
time, thing is that she had this debt for almost 12 years. Thats right,
12 years, yours eyes arent playing tricks on you. You see because
of her ignorance she had been paying the minimum amount, which was
only barely covering the interest that kept piling up. She was on a merry go
round ride that would not stop. With the knowledge I learned from Clint,
I got went about teaching her. She wiped out that debt in seven weeks.
She was debt free of all her other debts after eighteen months.
Dont fall into the trap that I did, educate yourself today. You owe it to
yourself, and you owe it to your children, friends and family to teach
them these pricipals too. You owe it to yourself to become a winner
in the debt game. Knowledge is what will separate you from others
who will, unwittingly, spend the next three decades paying the bank.
"Debt Free in Three", will give you the knowledge you need to take
control of your future.
