I just wrote this for American Express’ new website: Currency. Don’t think I’m allowed to re-post it here yet, BUT be sure to click over and check it out – I think you’ll like it!! :)

The same rules apply to finance. It takes time to reap those rewards. (There’s a reason J.D. and hundreds of others write about “getting rich slowly.”) Same with paying off your debt: Unless you get a crazy influx of money, you’ve got to pay that off one month at a time, little by little.

Jay loves talking about money, collecting coins, blasting hip-hop, and hanging out with his three beautiful boys. You can check out all of his online projects at jmoney.biz. Thanks for reading the blog!

woohoo, glad you said go ahead on both jumping out of a plane and buying an expensive bike… both things I have done, good to have the OK like Suze Orman!

Haha, okay, I will add it up there now :) I forget I have a ‘hawk too sometimes.
