Dear Dave, I just married a wonderful lady with two children. We’ve talked over our financial situation, and we’re determined to get out of debt within two years. This will mean some big changes in our teenager’s lifestyles. How can we break this to them gently?
The economic crisis has given people the opportunity to reposition themselves for a new wave of prosperity. We should prepare ourselves for a new season of economic growth. Here are eight principles for strategic investing:
Dear Dave,
What’s the best way to respond to a sibling who continually makes poor choices with money and often asks to borrow money? I don’t want to be heartless, but they’re out of control asking for money anytime they want. I’m currently on Baby Step 2 of your plan, and I’m six months away from being debt-free. Do you have any suggestions?
Dear Dave, My husband lost his job a few months ago. He’s found another one since then, but we’re still trying to rebuild our finances. At the same time, our daughter plays softball on a travel team. It’s a great character-building experience, but the costs involved can be pretty high. Do you think we should cut down on the travel team activities for a while?

In the current economic climate the job market has become increasingly volatile; therefore, just showing up is not enough, we have to set ourselves apart from our peers. Keeping the edge is important.
Don’t buy into the propaganda — the idea that the Earth was created with a lack of resources or is running out of resources. That is simply not true.

The science of physics recognizes two kinds of inertia — both of which can be related to procrastination. The first law states, “Standing objects tend to remain stationary.” The second law is the inverse: “Moving objects tend to stay in motion.”
Leadership is an amazing position of responsibility. As a man, you are created with purpose to be a leader. You are responsible to lead your family and often to be a leader at work or in the community. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived gives some very challenging insight into four qualities of a leader. His advise is priceless.
