As I mentioned before, I love saving money. Dave Ramsey always says you must “live like no one else, so that later you can live like no one else.” Basically he is saying be frugal and get out of debt so that later you can live life to the fullest with no worries of debt. To me that meant cut down on frivolous luxuries like having an iPhone and unlimited internet at the tip of my fingers. Because let’s be honest, while I enjoy it… it is not a necessity. But upon learning about Solavei I learned that I can continue having this luxury while saving money and even making money. Naturally, I was very weary of this. But after watching this video and reading the following list of names who now work for the company, almost all hesitance was gone. I felt so comfortable that I became part of the team. I joined the team so that I may learn more and be one of the first to become an active member. The company does not ask for any personal information when joining the team. No credit cards, no social security. Plain and simple. How impressive is the team below? Oh and the best part, the founder and his wife really love the Lord and openly declare it. Fun facts- he is from Tulsa, Oklahoma and his wife was actually Miss America in 1996. Comment or email me (beyondblessedblog@gmail.com) for more information!
