A million men and women dedicated countless hours into the development of keeping people out of the poor house. Only those that dare to step into the world of how to, teach me and show me the way and to do whatever it takes attitude are the ones that will truly become Poor No More…
How can we get American people to save money, spend less money and bring more money into the household is the hot topic. My answer is by treating the situation as an addition that faces us on a day to day basis.
A lot of people have a problem saving money. I believe that there is an illness attached to spending and why we can’t resist, which explains why we can’t save money, nor spend thrifty and live within our means.
Poor No More initiative has joined others to change the mind set of Americans regarding money management. We have taken the steps to educate, inform and support Americans looking to overcome the personal and business financial stain. Through informational workshops, Television talk shows, community outreach and group discussions we hope will help to start people on the right path no matter what their financial situation may be. High cost of food, gas, health care etc. poor people it’s time for change become educated of what your options are through the efforts of Poor no More. Visit our website at www.poornomore2008.com.
