Thanks, Barefoot

Dear Scott,

Last year I wrote and explained how the Barefoot Investor had changed my life. Lucky for me, you wrote an article on my letter (‘Here’s One for the Grandparents’) and then called me to give some advice. I just thought I would bring you up to date on my situation:

I am driving around in the crappy car that I bought with cash after selling my hugely expensive one. I now have no credit cards. I asked the girl of my dreams to marry me; luckily she said ‘yes’. We saved up a deposit and bought our first home. We have no debt apart from the home loan, with our wedding paid for thanks to us working overtime and taking jobs on the side. I am now taking your business advice and learning how to quote, run jobs and manage clients at the new company I’m working for. Again, thank you mate. You have changed my life, and now my fiancée’s as well.

Rhett

Hey Rhett!

That’s awesome man, I’m really proud of you -- and I bet your fiancé is too. This is totally politically incorrect, but I’m going to say it anyway: your actions show that you’re going to be a great provider for your family. You got this!

Scott
