We covered the 4 basic principles that are required to live debt free.
(See Blog entry from 6/10/11)

Four reasons to live debt free:
1. To provide a better quality of life for your family.

2. To be able to help others in their time of need.

3. To sow more into the Kingdom.

4. To leave an inheritance to your children’s children.

A good man will leave a generational seed.
Good credit and a good name is the result of living debt free and
managing your finances properly.

Here are some of the advantages of having a good name and good credit:
1. Lower interest rate on a car loan and credit card

2. Home purchase or rental

3. Career opportunities/Clearance

4. Respect among your colleagues

5. Favor and opportunities for you and your family

6. Ministry opportunities

7. Avoid embarrassment during a credit check
