We need to only look to the lessons of the Great Recession of 2008/09 to understand something is not working with the way most Americans relate to their money. Just like an alcoholic, we became intoxicated on easy credit, financial entitlements, and living a lifestyle that was a lie! How do we wean ourselves from financial dependency and take back control of our lives? In this unusual presentation, you will learn the symptoms that keep people trapped in financial lethargy, and how to gain control of your life to get your financial house in order. Rick provides specific time-tested principles to set you on the path to financial sobriety and recovery: recognize the signs, take responisibility and action, identitify enabling and save your loved ones from the same path, and discover where your values are out of integrity with your financial behavior.
