Success doesn't happen by itself. There's no one pill, insurance policy or gimmick that is the panacea cure for all of your financial ails. That isn't to say that there isn't good information to be gleaned but you have to temper it with some good ol' common sense and follow your gut. Your instincts usually lead you in the right direction. Jerry www.leads4insurance.com I couldn’t agree more. Success doesn’t happen by itself.

Seminars can get you pumped, but there are probably much less expensive ways to get into it. The only seminar I might consider recommending is Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. I haven't been, but I've seen some of the videos and read Ana at DebtFREE-Revolution's take on the whole thing day by day. It seems like he actually teaches valuable stuff and gets you excited. But the videos are pretty exciting and cheaper to get if your library/church/etc has them for free. Or his books are easily available from a number of libraries and also do a good job of psyching you up. I'm not sure what he charges for the seminar. Makes sense to me.
