...But it's not the type of school that you may be familiar with.  Nope, I am homeschooling myself starting this month.  In addition to all the writing and blogging that I've been doing, I'm going to increase my wealth IQ as well as get back into shape.  I even wrote down a "School Schedule" to remind me of my classes.  Tonight's classes are "Wealth Management" and "Real Estate Investing" so I'll be reviewing the Transforming Debt-To-Wealth program by John Cummuta as well as reading up on how to invest in apartment buildings. 



Who says that artists have to starve?

As part of my "Wealth Management" class, I browsed through a few debt-related websites to learn more about the different ways people seek debt reduction and the options that are available to them...and came across this website about Debt Relief.  Since everyone has been talking about the economy lately and how much debt people owe, I figured as a public service I would share a couple things that I've learned through this website:

• There are some consumer credit counseling agencies that are secretly working with your creditors 
• There's a chance that bankruptcy can stay on your record for 20 years!
• FreedomDebtRelief.com helps alleviate your debt by negotiating with creditors, but the only fees they collect comes from you versus being "bribed" by counseling agencies
  

And now you know... 

Don't you think there should actually be a "Wealth Management" class in college?  Maybe the economy wouldn't be this way if it were mandatory to take a class like this.
