Hello from SoCal
Hi - I'm new here and just looking for a place where I can get connected with some friends to help. I am looking forward to putting DR's TMMO to work in my life. I'm 59 and I am sick and tired, and sick and tired, and sick and tired of being in CC debt. I don't know if it's possible, but I'd like to have all of the CC debt paid off before retirement. I'm not sure how I found FV, but I'm glad I did, it looks like just the place I need to get plugged into. I've been reading a few threads already, and the folks here sound very friendly, non-judgmental, and very helpful. anyway, I just wanted to say, Hi!
Jerry

Welcome Jerry!! What part of So Cal are you in? I was born in L.A. and moved to the Bakersfield area in my early 20's. Now I'm in Nebraska.
On 11-22-85 I married the man of my dreams.
On 01-13-89 I gave birth to the love of my life.
