Leveraging what?!?
"The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender."
Proverbs 22:7 (NKJV)
I thought about leaving out the beginning of that verse, as it could be taken out of context by the Occupy Wall Street crowd (with whom I don't agree).
Actually, if you were to ponder on the latter part of the verse, one would find that most people's economic troubles come from DEBT. If people didn't leverage themselves up to their eyes, the accumulated interest could be paid to themselves.
It is possible to live debt free - and that is our goal.
