		<description>Hi, 

I think this is excellent and right on the money!  Thanks for the great wording, short - to the point and the short one sentence examples.  Helps immensely.  I never used to be so &quot;off goal&quot;, or unorganized till an accident 4 years ago.  I read a lot to help  with what has been lost to the accident and this is one great and very useful read that I will put to use to help organise me with my goals I have in mind, but do not seem to get as far as I would like with.

With appreciation, Vi :grin:</description>

		<description>&quot;I visualize paying off debts and attacking the mortgage. I cannot wait to never have a mortgage again!&quot;

You don&#039;t have to just visualize it -- take action; home mortgage acceleration is the key:

More and more folks are using a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) or a business-line-of-credit (BLOC) or personal-line-of-credit (PLOC) as an interest cancellation account to accelerate their home equity and payoff their home *years* sooner than listed on their mortgage amortization schedule.

Unfortunately, today’s Real Estate market means that folks can no longer count on appreciation to build home equity. Those who realize that they need to pay down their current mortgage debt are looking for alternate ways to aggressively (yet safely) build equity.

And they&#039;ve discovered a perfect online system to do that; they can focus on their wealth accumulation goals while accelerating their equity simply by using an Advanced Line of Credit (ALOC) to ‘power’ the Money Merge Account™ financial solutions program.

A typical 30 year loan (of whatever type) can be paid down in 1/3 to 1/2 the time — it&#039;s a great way to save *huge* amounts of income by eliminating a mortgage amortization front-end interest load. (On a million-plus dollar home, I&#039;ve personally seen where the Money Merge Account™ program will save the homeowner $750,000 in interest charges!)

And the best thing – homeowners don’t have to refinance their existing mortgage or, in most cases, make any adjustments to their lifestyle.  

It is unfortunate that most of us were never taught to follow three essential principles: (1) Avoid paying interest, whenever possible, (2) Use other people’s money, whenever possible and (3) Find and use a financial system that will guide you, especially if you have the tendency to go off-track.  The Money Merge Account™ software and the program’s counselors use these principles to keep each homeowner focused on their wealth accumulation goals. 

I’d be happy to provide further details…</description>
