In school they always focus on minimizing how much you spend and lowering your interest rate but I've never heard anyone say to increase your income. It's a fairly good point and it makes total sense. If your not making enough money to support your lifestyle than the answear is simple...Find a way to make more money!

I was also in a similar position and my old thinking was just looking at old band-aid solutions which got me further away from my goal of debt free. I started a home business and focused on what I want and still do. You can have your cake and eat it to, you just have to be disciplined and work towards what you want. Keep up the good work, Matt <a href="http://itstrue.ca/" rel="nofollow">Learn to Work Less and Play More!</a> Hi Paul,

Writing with passion. I love this article. I must say I am inclined to agree with everything except about your statement about not forming a budget. I do believe increasing your income is the best way to combat debt, but many people increase their income and expenses simultaneously. A budget will help you keep your current expenses the same and use any new income to pay down debt. Everything else, especially dreaming big, is true. I am glad you wrote about it. Its funny cause I just was reading through my old journal entries today and discovered that I accomplished three financial goals I set for myself three years ago. I was really happy and thankful to read that. Here is to a new great year! Cheers, Jeremy Hi Paul,

By having our dream life bigger than our current income, we can turn it into advantage by using the fire within to help us achieve the results that we want. Great article Paul.

Worrying all the time about how to eek out a living hasn't gotten us very far; concentrating on the belief that I can and will increase my earnings by doing what I want to do (online) IS.

Thank you. It seems our financial paths are similar, although you are much further 'ahead' of me and this provides me with much hope, indeed. This perspective has done wonders for me. I've read a lot over the years, grown a lot, but your writing created a real a-ha moment for me. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my dreaming! Things are just a little unbalanced at present. I am perfectly clear on what I have to do. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Great insight! Thank you.

This article hit home with me because I am new to the world of blogging and each day I try to learn just a little more to incorporate into a long-term plan. My ultimate goal is not to get rich, but simply to become debt free and reasonably secure financially. You are right on the money with this one (no pun intended...well maybe a little pun intended). Your enthusiasm and passion always come through in your posts. I think I can speak for many of us when I say you do a wonderful job of keeping us motivated. Keep up the good work!
