In Looking Past The Next Paycheck I will show you how I broke the grip of a paycheck to paycheck existence. I drank twenty-four beers a night, slept on the floor, I worked minimum wage jobs, had crazy get rich schemes that never worked, and I believed that anything beyond a very modest existence was for "other people", not me. I overcame the dependence on alcohol and tobacco, got out of debt, built good credit, and designed a personal accounting system. I will tell you how I did it and how you can do it too. If you want more than the very basics out of life, if you think you are striving for more but never seem to get ahead, if every plan you put together comes crashing down in defeat, or if it just seems that the world never works out for you the way it is supposed to, let me tell you what I learned through my many failures and show you how I finally turned my life around for the better.
