Why Do You Want to Get Rid of Your Debts?

When you change "budgeting" to "Spending Plan," as Glinda B does you convert your feeling deprived, ashamed and frightened into feeling good about being prosperous. As I read this book, and diligently did each exercise, I didn't want this book to end. This book has guided me on a journey that I had previously longed to be on, yet feared getting started. In the week that I read this book, I have uncovered so many beliefs, feelings and attitudes about my family history with money. I also became more understanding of them. I also discovered that many of their self-destructive money habits were also my habits. Our actions were different, but our money beliefs were the same. And at first this shocked me. This empowered me to feel better about my history, and to forgive everybody. It lifted a load off my shoulders. I realized that this was not about not having money, but really about my fears, my shame, and my not allowing myself to be responsible for what I could do to solve my problems. Every scenario in this book guides you face what has been getting in your way, and to turn those "obstacles," into what compels you to create a vision of yourself with financial peace of mind. This book is about using your past to create a compelling life for yourself, one where you have options, joy, balance and authenticity. The results of having read this book is a huge improvement in my life.

These holistic ideas and concepts along with her own testimonial and those of several clients (who are mentioned in the text along with her) who have applied these elements and have been debt free are truly inspirational and this book has been so helpful in my quest to get my money straight. This is one book that I would recommend to all especially young and old sisters who are looking to get their money straight. Thank you Ms. Bridgsforth for bringing this book to the community.
