Ancient Paths

So I went to this seminar in Pawnee, IL this past weekend called Ancient Paths. I had read the book, it was recommended to me by a friend. I didn't read it right away. I was still in school when I got it. But one day I read the bio of the author and realized he got his MBA from UChicago and being the MBA snob I've become I thought well he must know his stuff. (Granted not really an MBA snob well at least I hope not. I was impressed with the credentials though). The book is great and explained a lot about my family dynamics and helped me understand my brother more too. The seminar helped me a lot when it came to my relationship with my dad. Can't say I agreed with everything but I was definitely intrigued by everything.

While I was in Springfield, I went on a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright house there. AMAZING! The man was pure genius. I decided while there my next vacation will include a stop at Falling Waters.

Craig Hill, the author of Ancient Paths, also has a program on finances which the premise I found interesting. To live completely debt free. He states that if you follow his program that anyone can be completely debt free within 10 years (this includes your house mortgage!) I'm quite curious about this as I am able to sign away a huge portion of my future earnings into this house I am building. And let's not forgot the student loans incurred by my fabulous time spent at Gleacher Center. I'll be sure to post what I find out about this as I investigate it further. I know some of my friends have or are in process of getting to this point...Kudos to them. I want to get there too.

All this "no more school" thing has got you all giddy with bloggyness! I may have to start checking on a daily basis, rather than every blue moon!

Frank Lloyd Wright?? The man is a fraud. If you are such a big fan, how come haven't you been to visit the Jacobus family in lovely Spring Green, WI - the home of FLW and the Talisen, and all the other FLW stuff. Even our gas station is the Rite-Way Plaza . . . Can't throw a stick without hitting something related to Frank.

Peace,
