Thank you everyone for the very kind comments!!!
Don & Nicole Purdum, I love your post and your site. It does my heart good to see all that you two are striving to accomplish. I have tweeted for you and this was shared on LinkedIn IBOToolBox2.
I enjoyed reading your post Don and debt is not good for married couples. It can be very disastrous for some. I had a relative that went through this and it was not pretty. They ended up divorcing because of it. I have shared your post for more married couples to see.
Thanks Don!
Thanks for sharing this information Don. Very interesting. Too much credit can be a disaster for sure. Liked and Shared.
Good post, Don! It's hard to resist the lure of credit but it can get you into trouble. We need to keep our goals in mind constantly and decide what is the best course to achieve them.
